What is the worst colour of speaker finish to you?

I recall some home-made speakers boxes a friend did in college that used very "large particle" particle board. Enough to make one hurl. Especially after his cat rubbed up againt the unfinished edges with the resulting tufts of fur sticking out all over the place!

The loud colors of the AG horns are not at all my cup-o-tea.

Black woodgrain. Nrchy is absolutely right.

Going a bit further ... what about the speaker grills? Why black so often? Dacor camouflage would be nice. Something to blend in with the surroundings and improve WAF. Pastels and browns perhaps .... hmmm, pick your style for your surroundings??? ;-)

Something we both agree on......

I always figured SOME people prefer black for reasons of their own taste. I alwyas though tit a shame to cover GOOD wood with black. Kinda like painting over otherwise good oak flooring. Sometimes I think it is license to use cheaper and/or inferior grained woods.

wood with grain painted flat black ala Dunlavy. A shame could have been light oak if just stained instead.
