LOL ....................................... I think Amie only sent me one speaker and not a pair to assure I would return it. But it was in the oak that matches the house wood, think it was a hint.

Oh, so since this was a test shipment, you had to send it back, huh? That's too bad! What does the v2 mean? I guess I'm out of the loop here. Had they changed the crossover or something, or does it have to do with the new wood veneer?

The V2 has something to do with the tweeking of the crossover I believe.
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

Maybe it's just the small pics or the satin finish or simply a testament to the quality of Axiom's vinyl finishes, but I'm not quite as awed by the real wood veneer as I hoped I would be. And my wallet thanks me.
Maybe I need to see a high gloss veneer...
edit: I skipped Dennis's first comments about the finish possibly not being indicative of the finished products. oops.

It's real wood. It looks like real wood.
Why are you not "awed" by it?

This was the Satin finish which does not have a high sheen/gloss to it as well as a natural oak stain color. Perhaps you were expecting a higher gloss finish ?

Perhaps I was. Looking at these my first thought was "the vinyl finish isn't that far off!"

Very good work indeed. I was wondering how they were going to work the corners as well. I'm impressed. Espesially with Oak. Oak isn't as easy to finish as people think. Amie was going to send me a couple for the 'cold climate' test, but I haven't got them yet. It's already spring here, so the cold test wouldn't be much of a test.

Perhaps Amie should send some out west.
They would arrive just in time for the 'wet weather and floatation season' test.
Bren and i can give that second plastic jacket a real run for its money!

I thought the same thing. Maybe with the other types of wood veneers it will be more apparent.
