Dennis's words from the Philharmonic Audio web site:
The standard version of the BMR Philharmonitor is available in three finishes--cherry, maple, or piano mirror black. A custom version in a wider choice of veneers, with cabinets built by Jim Salk, is available for $1600/pr. There are no sonic differences between the standard and custom versions. Both cabinets come with magnetic front grills.
If the standard cabinets are what I think they are, they are very well made. The front baffles are 1" thick and they are well braced internally. The $200 extra for Salk cabinets gets you a wider choice of finishes, or front ported cabinets.
If you plan on using these on a desk top, remember the size, 22" tall × 9" wide × 13.5" deep.
