Need a recommendation for some tower speakers for a 2-channel system going in a finished basement room that’s 32 x 22. WAF factor is huge here and she prefers a walnut finish, definitely no ash black.
I like what I see from Salk, but can’t do a 6-month wait
I hear you about the long wait for Salk speakers, but based on sound quality alone, it's worth the wait. If you order them now, there will be a time when you'll be glad you waited. The standard SongTowers are priced right at $2k. And curly walnut is one of the standard veneers.
The Salk finishes are also well worth the wait. In fact, I'd say the finishes on my Salk speakers are significantly better looking than any furniture I've owned or seen. You've probably never seen anything quite like the curly wood veneer Salk uses for his standard finishes. If your wife is interested in walnut, she may have a particular shade of walnut in mind. Jim Salk is very good at applying dyes during finishing that can closely match existing furniture you now have or plan to buy. If you speak with Jim Salk, I suggest you get your wife on the phone as well. Let Jim talk to her directly about color and tone.
If you order now, you'll be sure to gripe about the wait (I know I did),but you'll eventually thank me later.
I'm in Maryland. If you're close enough, you're welcome to come hear my speakers.
