"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."

As an owner of the SF Olympica III,without a doubt, the fit and finish on these speakers are superb and second to none. Not only are they beautiful to look at [love that natural walnut ] but to caress that finish, and smell that leather, could be considered borderline illegal in most states.....8^)

White(mother of pearl) on any Kharma speaker! On more modest speakers the Satin Sycamore on KEF Reference Series is a long time favorite. With budget speakers the Sonus Faber Venere 3.0 in Walnut Veneer is a standout! FWIW have always been a fan of Rosewood if enough red hues are intact.

The old Duntech Sovereigns had a Santos Rosewood veneer, I believe, that was beautiful on that speaker. I think the Infinity IRS also used that veneer. In the current finishes, a lot of beauties from Sonus Faber have been mentioned; I also like Nola's high gloss rosewood with the gloss black accents on their Micro References.

I like rosewood, although I've never owned a pair of speakers that were rosewood; and I really loved the book matched burl of the Focus Audio 888s that I used to own. If only they had sounded as good as they looked. Yew is also nice, as in some speakers I have seen from ProAc in the past.
