eightman-
yea man.. depending on how long its been since you ordered them, give the custom finishes a try.. i mean, if its that important to you.. it was to me/us/wife.. the only draw back is that you have to pay a little extra for them, and there is a 5-6 week wait. which ends up seeming like 5-6 months....they can send you samples at $10 bucks a pop, but you can forward that fee toward the speakers when you ordr, so its like for free really.. as long as you buy speakers.
to be honest, i expect these speakers to be the focal point in my living room for the next 10-15 years, so i didnt think the extra money was unreasonable. someone on here has a tag that reads "if your gonna do it, do it right"!!! i think i have..
