The walnut 160, M5, M2 on-wall and M2 bookshelf arrived. The on-wall is bordeaux and the bookshelf is espresso. They are gorgeous! This is my first experience with on-wall bi-polars and they are truly exquisite.

I find the stains really mute the natural grain of the walnut. The bordeaux is a bigger offender than the espresso. I suppose it depends on the lighting also and if one prefers natural walnut.

I opened the bookshelf M2 and found lots of stuffing, a real cross-over and...wait for it...cast basket on the mid-woofer! I wonder when that happened.
