Tom, the custom stuff matches the furniture we already had, as well as the color of all the mouldings/wood trim. Didn't give that much thought when I originally ordered the speakers. The addition of the 2 rather sizeable pieces has caused the mismatch to be a bit noticeable, which is why she brought it up. More of an "Oh by the way" thing rather than a major problem causing us to wring our hands. Still worthwhile to look into.

ken - excellent suggestion. I've called Axiom and sent an email off. I'm just hoping that they have a program that's better than trading in a car at a dealership!

Jack - I'm so sorry. My wife is an only child. They only had one opening such as you described and I fit it perfectly. Except, of course, for the ugly part.
