The custom vinyl finishes are very nice esp the high gloss ones, there should be some threads here somewhere with a few pictures of them.

Hi all
Just curious if anyone has ever purchased any speakers with a custom vinyl finish.... High Gloss Cherry - VINYL Vassallo - Wood Veneer
High Gloss Cherry M60 VP150 QS8 Open for Auditions but please don't drool on the High Gloss

Hey Hay..thanks for the pics. The HGC looks much better than the real wood..although it may be my crappy uncalibrated laptop. Is the grain pattern in the Boston Cherry similar/same to the high gloss version

It's similar, but not the same. The high gloss really brings out the grain.
The color is very different.

If HG vinyl finishes are now the same price as matte custom finishes, it's a no brainer... and they appear to be, at least on a pair of M22s.
I have HG burled walnut (vinyl) Audiobytes. It's a really pretty finish, although I think it might be a little busy for a large speaker.

true..doesn't seem that classic oak come in high gloss though..I think that would be purdy.

It's a different vinyl stock--it's not a coating over one of the matte vinyls.

There are a few HG Cherry pics under the link in my signature if you want to check them out. As long as you don't mind some light reflecting off the finish of the speakers, I highly recommend the HG Cherry or burled walnut finishes. They always draw comments when people see my theater for the first time, and people always think it is real wood. The veneer is that good.
