Cherry is red too. More of a cherry red than a bordeaux red.  Stay away from walnut nutmeg. In the right light, it can be mistaken for a slice of orangutan.

They can do that when you order your active LFR1100s.

Axiom will make you samples. $25 USD a piece, but they're pretty nice; larger than I thought they'd be at 10.5 x 8 inches. They refund the purchase price when you buy speakers. They even come with magnets and a mini-grill, so you can try out different grill colors (but make sure you ask for the grill colors you want, they sent me 3 black grills).
Also, if it helps I have a Walnut Bordeaux (satin) sample that I'd be glad to send to you; I'm pretty sure I won't be getting that stain in the future. Although, it's more fun when you get a bunch of samples and line them up for comparison. I had my family rolling their eyes when I 'd randomly wander into the living room to check out the colors in various lights and times of day.

Why am I spending all this money on speakers when I can just buy the gorgeous finishes and screw them to my walls?

Well, I'm glad I caught you in time Mojo.
Since I can't decide on a wood an stain, I'm just going to get one of each sample and glue them all together for a speaker smorgasbord.
Seriously though, I'm glad I got them. I was definitely going with cherry chestnut until I saw how both dark it was and unevenly it spread (light patches and very dark patches); then I went with cherry bordeaux. But seeing them all in all the different lights and angles was worth the step. Of course, in your case you do the same thing with actual speakers, so ... never mind.
