I just checked the custom vinyl shop and it only says eggshell white. However, in a custom wood finish there is an option for high gloss eggshell white.

Don't forget, you can get the "paintable" option as well, from the custom shop, if you want to do a specific finish yourself.

thats an idea i didnt think of. I just bought a new tv stand and coffee tables in a mocha color so i thought glossy white speakers would look nice next to that

Seems a shame to get all that real wood and then cover it in something that doesn't show the grain. But that's just me.

I believe the 'paintable' speakers are bare MDF. Not positive on this but that's what it looks like on the store page.

Oh, I'm talking about getting HG white or piano black in the VaSSallo shop. Or the orange or blue audiobytes, for that matter. Which are just plain awesome.

Until you mentioned it, Ken, I didn't know they had other high gloss colours in the Vassalo finish besides piano black. You're right, it is a shame to paint an opaque finish over real wood, to me it kind of defeats the purpose(seeing the woodgrain).

I fully agree, but one reason they may do that is a gloss finish requires a very smooth surface. MDF takes some effort to smooth, where many hard woods are easy to smooth and thus take less work to make a piano finish.
