Appearance of Totem Forest

I need some help with a serious WAF problem. We purchased some new Forests recently in cherry. The wood on each speaker (especially the sides) is quite mismatched. Vince at Totem says they match the fronts and that's it. I'm concerned it could affect resale value. Any comments?

FWIW - we remodeled our kitchen in cherry. Depending on the tree and layer of wood used there are going to be differences in how it accepts stain. I'd say, don't sweat it...but I'm no wood expert. Just going on our personal experience.

How about just trying some different stains to lighten and/or darken the finish as needed? This seems like it should be a relatively easy, or at least not impossible, fix. As always, I am completely open to the possibility that I am dead wrong.
