That is a very nice tool to use. I'd like to see a representation of the individual speakers in the custom finishes, rather than just the small bookshelf speaker. For me, if I'm planning on buying a pair of M80s I'd like to see how they would actually look with the different finishes.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your input. The post was actually by Ian Colquhoun, not me. Do we look alike?

Anyway, good feedback and I also like the new Customize Yours presentation.

Regards,

Alan

From what we talked about yesterday, Sean, they're trying to figure out the best way to do that. Unfortunately, photoshop only goes so far, and building every single speaker in the line in every single finish gets a tad pricey.

Can't they just take pictures of the missing ones as they're being made? Using a stock photo like they are doing now for those that haven't been made yet.

That's a thought. I suppose you'd probably get almost there after awhile.

I think they SHOULD photograph every combination. Then offer them to me at a substantial discount! \:\)

Hi Mark,

That would be about 7,250 speakers we would need to build and photograph. Are you thinking about 25% off?

Wow, I never thought it would be that many. Never did the math.

I was hoping for 50%...

Oh, plus a contract to do the photography. That should take, what, 145 days at 50 speakers/day?

Well, I guess I meant more of the photoshop variety. I know that is too many configurations of speakers, but if there could be a virtual representation of the speaker in the different finishes would be very helpful, I think.
