1) Yes I like this finish---sort of a mad-max post-apocalypse look

2) I would like to see this speaker in a glossy carbon-fiber finish

3) Rosewood would be ideal, but carbon fiber or a deep glossy black would be good.

 

[rnatalli]

Various colors perhaps like yellow, red, blue, etc... for an ultramodern (or retro) look.

[Alex2507]

1) Do you like this finish?

I do.

2) What other finishes would you like to see in a speaker like this?

I think it would be cool to be able to order any color out of a Sherwin Williams color fan. Copper would be a neat color for a speaker like this.

3) What color would you most like to see offered for a subwoofer (in addition to black)?

I've seen plastic laminate that looks like brushed stainless. That would be interesting.

Yes, it will blend well with rustic decor

2) What other finishes would you like to see in a speaker like this?

• matte black metal, like heavy duty hand tools

• metal finishes to match the typical door hardware finishes: chrome, nickel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper; all in shiny, satin, or brushed.
• different color leathers or faux leather, suede, etc.

3) What color would you most like to see offered for a subwoofer (in addition to black)?

• leather or suede (make it look like an ottoman)
• user-paintable surfaces
• signature licensed colors (ferrari red, lamborghini yellow, jaguar green, etc)
• owner-selected pantone number.

 

[euphonimaniac]

1) Do you like this finish?

Not particularly. I prefer smoother finishes on my speakers. I wouldn't object to getting them for free, though!

2) What other finishes would you like to see in a speaker like this?

Cherry or oak finish would be nice.

3) What color would you most like to see offered for a subwoofer (in addition to black)?

[LimiterOne]

Yes, it goes well with darker-stained (but not black) furniture materials, I think.

Billiards balls would be cool, particularly if the speakers were for a rec room with, of course, a pool table.

3) What color would you most like to see offered for a subwoofer (in addition to black)?

Satin grey, and various woodgrains.

Peace

Acrylic or Wood

Tan

 

[project86]

1) YES! I really do like this finish. Speakers like this are clearly geared towards matching or accenting the style of a room, and this is a great option.

2) I like the colors you already offer, and I think it would be great to continue the line with other neutral colors. Perhaps some variation of a sage green, some other browns both lighter and darker, and smoke gray would be a good start. I'm not sure how difficult it is to come out with different colors, but you could certainly offset the cost for some of them by charging a small "custom color" fee, and perhaps have them built to order so you don't have to maintain stock of the less popular ones.

3) Subs are best in black or darker wood colors. That's my opinion. I know some people would like them to match the speakers, but I've always wanted the sub to be out of the way and not attract attention.

Preferred Finishes

1) Do you like this finish? I can’t recall seeing this finish before, but yes, I like it; it grows on me.

2) What other finishes would you like to see in a speaker like this? Piano-glass black.

3) What color would you most like to see offered for a subwoofer (in addition to black)? In addition to piano-glass black, I like a furniture-grade rose wood finish.

 

[Coult_45]

1) Like the finish. It is very masculine. Would look great in a cabin or a mans office.

2) I think a polished stone enclosure would look incredible. It might be hard to produce but It would also appear exotic. It might be more gender friendly and have wife approval.

3) I think an identical sub would look crazy cool. Maybe a larger orb with the same hammered metal look. This would look great with radiators added to the active speaker in the sub. If you need more volume it could be a cube with rounded corners.

 

[Trouble Maker]

1) Do you like this finish?
Yes, but it would really depend on where I'm putting them. Those would look great next to a computer, or in a garage. I don't think I would want them in my living room.

2) What other finishes would you like to see in a speaker like this?
Some nice smooth (get rid of the texturing) powder coated colors. Maybe just black, but the sky is the limit. Something like this would look good in a living room. You could offer customer colors for $$ and go with some crazy 'modern' colors.

3) What color would you most like to see offered for a subwoofer (in addition to black)?
See above. You could get orange speakers and a white sub. Just an example but you could do some really fun combos if you can pick the colors.

EDIT: Now that I go to their website I see the smooth finishes in different colors. I dig it. I still think you could offer a custom, or very much increased color pallet option for a few bucks.

1) Do you like this finish?

Its an interesting texture for a speaker...I guess I like it.

2) What other finishes would you like to see in a speaker like this?

Pearl white, high gloss cherry

3) What color would you most like to see offered for a subwoofer (in addition to black)?

piano gloss black, pewter color, clear(opaque) to see alll the guts! (If tonally possible)

 

[coloradoxc]

1) Do you like this finish?

It completely depends upon the environment the speakers will operate within. I think that the metallic finish will only look good in an outdoor application. I would prefer a different finish for indoors.

2) What other finishes would you like to see in a speaker like this?

I like the futuristic design and would like to see it in any wood finish. It might be interesting to work on creating a glass finish. I have never seen one, but innovative designs that are aesthetically pleasing are the products that get sold.

3) What color would you most like to see offered for a subwoofer (in addition to black)?

I would like to see a subwoofer that has the same color as the rest of the system. Personally, I like a light oak finish. Or, I'd like to see it in a dark red oak finish
