Please help me change the look of my speakers

I have a pair of Genesis G7.1f's (see attached picture). I am trying to sell them on this site. If I cannot sell them, I am going to have to change the look of my speakers, as they do not work with with the color scheme of my listening room. My turntable is Macassar ebony, and my audio rack is Macassar ebony and black. The point is, the black and mostly grey speakers do not work. They sound great, but do not work well aesthetically.

I would like them to look like the Thiel's that come in Macassar ebony finish.

Is there a veneer paper I can buy to cover the speakers...like a wallpaper? Can they be painted? Any suggestion will be most appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

Dear Zd542, I think I would be happier if they speakers sounded as good or nearly as good. The Genesis do sound amazing. However, I like the Thiel CS2.7's in Maccasar that have received very good reviews.

Speaking of cabinet maker: my audio rack was built by a cabinet maker friend of mine. PErhaps he could figure out how to fabricate something so my speakers could match.

Or, paint them yourself! Realize that even if you do a perfect job, the value will plummet should you decide to sell them.

Jnovak: that is true. However, I am hoping to apply a wood finish to them instead of painting them, if that is at all possible.

Thiel is a very good speaker, but you need to listen to them first. Then don't sound like your current speakers. Also, you may need to get another amp. You don't mention what you currently have but the Genesis are a much easier speaker to drive.
