Tekton pedragon finish

Hey all you Pendragon fans. I've been speaking with Eric at Tekton and put in my order for some Pens! I appreciate all of the insight on this forum and some reviews that helped confirm my decision. All I have to do is decide on a custom paint or go with a standard.
So, has anyone seen first hand what the painted finish looks and "feels" like? The satin finish is a good idea but can the wood grain be seen or felt or is it more like a piano finish? I have no doubt about the quality....just wondering about the final look.
Thanks all

I am curious to read what you end up with. I personally have not been a big fan of the color of the drivers. I am curious how they would fit in with a Bubinga finish. Is there a photo of the Pendragons in Bubinga somewhere?

I will say, though, that the photo over on Home Theater Review of the Pens in BMW's Cyber Grey Metallic looks the most complimentary of all the photos I have seend.

Thinking about this, I realized the darker the color the blacker it will become once the room light goes down, therefore go with Eric's grey or black and save the cash. But, the speakers are large enough to make a statement in the living room so go with something unique!
I looked up the Bentley home page to get their car's exterior colors....it's a good site. Then to Home Depot to get paint samples. That picture of the BMW grey was nice....I just need something to match the colors at home.

Mine were satin black and that paired with the driver color quite well.

I have the 6.5 mini-monitors in a custom finish (Cobalt Blue). It's very much a 'piano' finish, no trace of wood-grain. These were demo's, probably not what I would have spec'd, but a very good quality finish

Hey Morganic, I've been worried that the Pen's might be too big to fit in the living room. My room is 20x20.........real concern or should I just man up. How do you're sound and how big is the room?
