What are your favorite speaker finishes?

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.
