What are your favorite speaker finishes?

Brazilian rosewood

Piano black

Burled wood of almost any type

Bcgator,yes,the leather on these are real. As are the walnut veneers used on the panels. I was once told that all speaker manufacturers aspire to be of Sonus faber quality. After buying the Olympicas,I can now see why.Truly a work of art.Not only in the quality of sound,but also,in the all out craftsmanship used in their construction. Bravo SF...

Oh yeah, I forgot, I like the finishes on just about anything Sonus Faber makes.

Cats Paw Cherry....

I had a pair of Spendor SP 2/3s in cherry that were absolutely beautiful…the BEST cherry finish I've ever seen. Sometimes when the evening sun hit them, I just stared at them, really. The modern cherry finishes seem to be too light and character-less, but those Spendors were natural works of art.
