My fronts are Mansfield Beech w/ black grilles (changed from Gold) in order to match my new Salamander and the black bezel of my plasma.
What do you think of the rears? These are all in the same room but the eye would never seem them in one shot. Full pics when I get my center grille...
Stay w/ gold and don't match the fronts
or change to black to match?

i am sure the black grills on the fronts have a great flow with the other things to accent them.. but, i think they are some what distrating on the surrounds. so, for my .02 cents, i would go with the gold grills on the QS8's. but, i am no interior decorator, so take it with a grain of salt!
BTW- cool clock.. i love that old retro looking stuff!

I agree.
I left my Qs with gold, fronts with black.
I think the black draws to much attention.

I agree with the gold consensus.
On a side note - you must have a HUGE dog if it eats off of the mantle, especially if it's still a puppy!

I leave the gold woofer grills on to keep dust out, and remove the tweeter grills.

I say pink grills...  blends with the clock better.
Go for the gold. It looks nicer.

just had to be different, eh?
dont you have a tractor to fix or something?? 
BTW- i hadnt taken the grills off my 60's in a long while, and i had to yesterday, and i forgot how awesome they look without them. i wish my wife would let me keep 'em off, but there is no way.. plus, i reckon that is a good thing with a new baby fixing to be up and walking around. oh, and the reason i took the grills off... i was cranking some early van halen, and i thought one of the tweeters sounded blown. i got real scared and took the grill off to investigate.. then, once i turned the volume down, i realized the static i was hearing was coming from the baby monitor in our bedroom that had been left on.. whew...
EDIT- no pink. its been done..

Thanks fellas. I thought the same too. The monochrome seems to look a little better.
