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?

Leftyfox...save your money and get the truth links, they are still the most musical IC's at that price point and mate well with solid state. The silway stuff was originaly designed for tube gear. Speaker cables and power cord will be even more important. What are you using for a front end?
Hey Dave.....I'm using the Plinius 9200 although I'm contemplating switching to tube gear..I have an old ARC SP-6 that sounds pretty nice with the Forests......need a power amp too though...(I have another thread re: this question)...Also Exposure CD player and Rega P3....using Totem tress bi-wire cable which was a notable improvement from my Acoustic Zen Hologram cable.....have a Top Gun power cord on the Plinius but it's so big and inflexible I can't plug it into the wall, thinking of trying the Harmonic Technology Fantasy....
FWIW... the Sun will many times even out differences in panels... after a few years you would probably not notice the difference.
Sounds great....go with the sp-6 and find a nice amp..arc vs series perhaps?
I'm gonna do that..get the SP-6 serviced and look for an amp..a friend of mine is selling a VTL ST125, I'll try that first....
