Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Boston Cherry Finish - brown?

I had local axiom owner tell me recently that he returned his boston cherry's for black because the Boston Cherry finish was a lot more brown then red. Kind of dull looking. This has been somewhat disappointing to me because I was going to order a set in the Boston Cherry finish.

Anyone else disappointed or have comments on the Boston Cherry finish?

I had a tought time choosing between the two colors as well. I ended up w/ boston cherry.

Yes, they are rather brown, not a bright red by any means. I think they are very attractive though. I stayed away from black, just because no matter how well done it is, they just look cheap to me.

If you want, I can try to get some good pics of the speakers in my room, maybe a close up or two so you can see the real color. Its pretty hard to tell just by the pics listed on this website.

I've got an entire 7 speaker setup in boston cherry. It's very nice! It's a dark reddish brown. It looks just as it does on the website. (assuming your monitor isn't whacked)

twopecker - If you could get some pics that would be great! It would help me finalize my decision.

Sorry, forgot to add my comments. I would definitely say get the Boston Cherry. No, they're not as "cherry" as I was hoping, but very attractive. Those pictures are just a quick snap trying to show you the color of them. I think they are a pretty good example of what the color actually is (if that makes sense!).

Enjoy

wow! I like it a lot. Thanks a lot Marcus. That helps out so much. I appreciate that hugely.

Did you build your own audio rack? Looks great! I was wanting to build myself one as well. How did you do that?

I just got 5 24"x16" sheets of oak veneered plywood, stained them "boston cherry" (which turned out to be ALOT more orange than the speakers), and used 3 threaded rods and used nuts to hold the racks where I want. Do a search for DIY TNT Flexy rack on google or something.

Shawshank Redemption. Good movie.

Heh, I noticed that after I took the picture. Have a copy of Shawshank Redemption sitting there (GREAT movie, especially on an 88" screen) and James Taylor - Greatest Hits Vol. 2 (great cd to enjoy your axioms with).
