What are your favorite speaker finishes?

Brazilian Rosewood, which is a global banned wood for shipment to most countries, like US and UK, and has been for about fifteen years. Other countries claim to have rosewood but compared to Brazilian, they suck. All of my speakers and most of my furniture is Brazilian rosewood. Gorgeous!!!!!

Brazilian Rosewood (Palisander) is beautiful, but I ended up with black piano finish speakers (similar to Wilson Puppy) that I hated with passion. My wife even mentioned that they resemble small coffins. Now they are growing on me and I think I even like them. One advantage I can think of is ability to fix scratches. Any piano repair place should be able to take care of it.

I like any nicely figured wood but I hate super high gloss or piano lacquer finishes, prefer matte.

Bubinga rules.

Buconero117, which manufacturers are doing speakers in Brazilian? Or are they all custom-builds? I've got two guitars with solid brazilian necks and I agree with you, it's superb. Smells like candy too. I've just never seen it on speakers but would really like to.
