Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Speaker Finish Rosewood Espresso

You picture is definitively clearer than mine, but ... I blame the camera!

What I'd really like to know is how you get the picture to be displayed as a "thumbnail". I keep trying to make that work and have had zero luck.

Wow chesseroo, you're right those semi-gloss look very nice, especially in the comparison.
I asked for a semi-gloss and it was very glossy. Now that I see yours I think they sent me a glossy.

Here's another snap on a sunny day. (And you know what, they don't look that different.)
Clockwise from top-right: Cherry-Chestnut ("semi"), Cherry-Bordeaux, RW-Espresso, RW-Chestnut.

The semi gloss has been excellent so far. It is not in a sunny room but when i had the new speakers on the main floor, they were no worse than the Tannoys we have up there for overall gloss. Far from piano gloss finish. The difference between the basic satin and the semi gloss was so strikingly different and better IMO that is was a no brainer to have that done instead of their default satin option. I honestly think Axiom should do the semi gloss as their default finish.

To insert an image your link needs to have the file type suffix included (e.g. .jpg, .gif). If your link to the image does not have that suffix then you end up inserting an HTML link as your post does above.
I use imgur for pic hosting.

I used something else many moons ago but it went stupid with ads and limited cross linking images so i abandoned that photo hosting service.

Thanks everyone. Trying to decide if new rosewood espresso towers are in my future. Feel like being irresponsible. Lol.

Free is the only tier I'm willing to pay for ...

Thanks rrlev. I'm already paying for Amazon hosting so I was hoping it was a board usage trick.

Trevor with spur of the moment towers - nice! Well, you have my +1 for the RW-Espresso; obviously it was one of my finalists. In my opinion it's a very classic and formal presentation.

Being a woodworker, it seems such a shame to take the natural colour of Rosewood and try and stain it to a different colour. I guess its part of what people want. Like the thinking that Walnut needs to be a deep dark brown. Or Mahogany for that matter. Just a personal preference I guess.

I hear you ... I'm so deep into the Apple eco-system that I'm probably be paying them money for their bundled plan. I've resisted till now but the writing is on the wall ...
