Jag,
I went ahead and ordered some M50ti's today. They are the speakers I wanted regaurdless of finish. Ordered b-stock only a 2 week wait. My biggest concern at this point would be the fittings being glued in. If they are I'll just decide to keep em or return em on sound quality. Who knows I may just love the way they look.

Now I'm gonna loose my mind waiting for them to arrive.
