Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Dreaded finish thread - thoughts on high gloss?

I don't own any Axiom speakers with high gloss. I do own a high gloss Energy sub woofer and within 4 months of owning it, now it has small scratches all over it. (i can't figure out what caused them) and it looks beat up.

My other sub is a Mirage PS8 sub that is mat black stain. It's over 9 years old and still looks the same as the day I bought it.

If someone gave me the choice between high gloss and mat stain, I would go with the mat every time.
