Cabinet Colors

I agree, substantially, and I drive a white car.

as long as it's done right the color should not limit marketability of speaker.

Totally depends on the market your trying to sell it in - Southern California or Florida White Piano Lacquer would do just fine, as it would in Scandinavia and northern Europe.  The Midwest and pretty much everywhere else, Black Piano is more sought after.  Theres of course expectations to this.

From experience - we sell 5 to 6 times more Black Piano Lacquered speakers than White.

There will be people who prefer black, but plenty who prefer white, including myself.   I don't think I'd be inclined to generalize too much on this question.  I was considering some Dynaudios last year, and was specifically looking for white.  My local Wilson Benesch dealer ran a deep-discount sale on his in-stock items just so he could re-order new stock in white - that's what customers were asking for.   The new B&W D3 line looks gorgeous with the white cabinets and silver trim.  Just as some cars show their lines best in white - remember the Lambo Countach in white - many speakers also look great in white.  If people weren't asking for it, manufacturers wouldn't be offering it.

I have a pair of Revel M106 in the wood  finish and they are beautiful....the white finish is attractive although I think they would be tough to sell, it's almost as if you would need the decor to match the speaker for it to look at home.
