I used to get walnut to match my furniture. After I moved, I got cherry to match the house's cabinets and shelves. More recently, as I've spent more on speakers, I've let my wife pick the finish to help enhance WAF, and we've gotten Morado on Thiel 3.6s and gloss black on WATT/Puppy 6s.
Black.

If the speaker visually disappears, it will seem to psychologically sonically disappear.
Funny you should ask that, since I have had a dedicated listening room for over twenty years, I would not mind the best sounding speakers available in some el cheapo Nextel or flat black industrial crap-type finish, I think. I wonder how much of a speaker's price goes towards the finish? Right now I have the "rosenut" finish on my Paradigms. I don't think that there is such a thing as a "rosenut" tree, but with the aid of stain, anything is possible. My former Thiels were light oak, simply owing to the fact that it was the only pair locally available. Given a choice, morado from Thiel is nice.
I prefer piano black lacquer,despise the ordinary black painted finish like Dunlavy does. Can't understand why anybody would want that finish. Have Brazilian RoseWood currently thought it too dark at first its looking better every day. Cherry is nice also.
