Mabe you could get Axiom to cover it with HG cherry vinyl.

Oh, I'd totally make a gimp suit out of HG vinyl.

Maybe I should downgrade to M60's in HG Cherry??????????

Fred, I thought about that but I think it would be a little much. My brother has friends who work in body/paint shops and he said he could custom paint/finish it but I need to figure out what I want. Currently I have a RPTV with a black grill cloth base, so painting it black would be good. But, when I switch to a new flat panel wall mounted the black would look fine but would stick out more...

Bob, I would never consider moving to the M60 as a downgrade, just a different option. Yes you may loose some detail and slightly better performance at low volume but if you never compared back and forth you would never know. If you're like me and like to have your speakers stand out and be a room accent then the HG finish is an excellent choice.

Bob, thats a valid option. It all depends on how important looks are to you. In the end, I decided to stick with maximum sound quality and the extra savings from the outlet store. I did put all my options in a spreadsheet and stare at the numbers for several days though!

When your M80s come and you get a chance to see and hear them in your room, your will know what to do.

I did the right thing for me and have no regrets, even if I struggled with some of the decisions for a while. If I wasn't saving for a house though, I would have gone for the HG cherry in a heartbeat.

I'm lucky, sort of, my wife doesn't like the look of the HG, wouldn't match anything in our decor, so it is not an option for me. But I certainly love it.

My current decor is post modern Troglodite, so anything goes in my theater. :rollyeyes:

Is that anything like early Neanderthal, Fred?

Yes, but not quite that highbrow.

LOL! Thanks, Fred. Whew!
