What are your favorite speaker finishes?

Nice! Bocote wasn't one I had seen before either.

I'll add Piano Ebony on Monitor Audio Gold GX to the list also. The Rosewood on my Quad 22L2's were pretty nice also but the clear coat wasn't perfectly smooth like some speakers.

Musicpod, I looked up the grey color on sf speakers; it's actually called graphite and that is another color I have not seen on wood. Really pretty!

I like black its basic.

Cherry or Rosewood. I just can't get into painted speakers with automobile finishes. But if the painted speaker were to sweep me off my feet then Black is acceptable. I can always apply wood colored contact paper.

Both by Tidal Audio....Pyramid stepped mahogany and Madagascar Ebony gloss!

Sonus Faber's walnut - loved the original Concertinos and Concertos, and now the Olympica is even nicer. I would buy the Olympicas just to stare at them.

The red birds eye gloss on the B&W 805 Signature.

I wasn't sure I'd like the carbon fiber on the Wilson Benesch designs, but it looks amazing. I'm normally a wood guy, but they're the exception.

The aesthetics of my speakers are important to me - they're not just sound boxes, they're part of the decor, I want to enjoy looking at them as well as listening to them.
