You might want to wait until around the holiday times (Thanksgiving and Christmas). I think that is when they usually go on sale if I remember correctly.

I would call Axiom, though they understandably might not want to show their cards!
Any answer other than from Axiom would just be conjecture...

Well I didn't want to make it sound like they are "actually doing it" this year, I have no clue. It's probably best that you call, but I thought the last couple of years they had it around the holidays. Doesn't mean that they are this year, though.

I sent an e-mail. Here is the response.
We don’t have any promotion which I am aware of planned for the Holiday Seasons. However, the finish which you are looking for is available from our Custom Vinyl Shop at a modest 12% cost option.

I think I would wait and see, I seem to recall the HG going on sale 2 years in a row just before the holdays and then earlier this year they had an overstock sale.

On the other hand, as an HG Cherry owner, I can tell you it's worth the 12% (though I did get it when it was on promotion).  The reason not to get the high gloss finishes is that they can cast some reflections of light in your room, so if you find that distracting, a matte finish may be more for you. Personally, the reflection doesn't bother me, but it's not for everybody.

I ordered some samples one of them being the HG cherry. I can definately see what you mean about the reflections. It is stil hard to tell if this will bother me or not, but to me they look so much better then the standard boston cherry finish which frankly IMO looks cheap.

I don't know that it looks cheap, but its not my favourite either.
Looking at HG cherry vinyl next to the real thing, its almost impossible to tell the difference unless you are very very close.

I'm waiting to start construction of my theater room before I get speakers and since money will be tighter at that time I was planning on getting them through the Factory outlet but if this HG cherry upgrade happens I wouldn't be able to pass it up.

Yes I considered the outlet as well. If they had the HG cherry in the outlet it would be a no brainer for me.

If the EP800 comes out soon, you might see an EP600 in HG Cherry show up there.

But you forget Jason, trade ins usually show up on the Ebay site. Factory Outlet is just that, FACTORY outlet speakers not returns or trade ins, or so Axiom maintains.

Ahh, very good point, I suppose there is a reason they call them _Factory_ outlet speakers... In another 2700 posts or so I should hopefully have things like that burned into my brain.

You do start seeing similar if not the same answers over again as well. Good thing the search function doesn't work too well or we wouldn't be needed

If I remember correctly the last time that the free upgrade to high gloss cherry was offered was a couple years ago around this time. It started in August and only lasted a couple months at the most. The reason for doing it was that it was being discontinued apparently. So, I am confused. Why is this finish still around? I purchased my speakers when this free upgrade was available and the only reason that I didn't do the free upgrade was because it was supposed to be discontinued. I even called and asked them about this and this is what they said. So if I wanted to upgrade to m80's somewhere down the line I wouldn't be able to get a matching finish. This kind of makes me mad because I thought that it was a beautiful finish and would have went with it otherwise.

The HG promotion was also on in Nov & Dec last year. I ordered mine at that time.

- Nick That was the case until they found a new supplier last year or so... I'll check for the thread this afternoon possibly.
