So there is an issue with the 180. I got it all set up, and noticed that the speaker is way more shiny than my other speakers. The 180 was order in boston cherry, to match my other speakers, but the 180 looks like it has a piano gloss finish.
Here is the picture showing the difference, which is even more apparent in-person.
Picture This picture is exactly what i needed to see the clear difference between the old vinyl wrapped Boston Cherry and the new real wood veneer versions.
No doubt that anyone looking to mix and match you will have to put up with the rather stark difference. Different wood colours entirely is a different thing vs. trying to get a matched set for a visual purpose.
I suppose someone out there might actually like to have their mains different from the centre and the surround and the subs (most subs are plain black anyway so you have little choice).
