Well I talked to SVS to find out if the textured black is a vinyl wrap or sprayed on for the pb13 and was told it was a spray on .......... oh my that makes it even more appealing for me since it will be even more durable "IMO" .. SOMEBODY HELP ME ... UGHHHHHHHHHHHHH :p:D

Yo, Factor! You could really give Strube a run for his money in the upcoming Olympic Waffling Event. I would be struggling with the decision too. It's so easy to go with 'safe' black, 'good enough' black. I encourage you to go with Rosenut because it's a risk and when it does turn your room into the dawning of a new day, you'll be able to say, "I did that".

pssst. post #17 :D

it's not exactly the same, but i personally can't tell the difference. i think the NSD's are vinyl, and the textured blacks are sprayed on.
go Oak.

AVTALK measured the Oak and it measured really well. you can't risk going for the TB or Rosenut ;)

Okay, you have won the gold medal in the waffling olympics, whcih means I only get a silver! Just get the Rosenut that you were 99% sure on. If you don't like it you can always spray paint it black! :D:eek::rolleyes::cool:;)

The sin of spray painting that makes me certain that Rosenut is Right ...
... but the oak ... oh, the oak ... he he he :D

The oak could be good too. My bottom line:

real wood veneer = refined, elite, freaking sweet action
paint or vinyl = sort of lame when the other option (see above) costs the same

I would also take a stained wood grand piano over one of those ugly gloss black ones any day... :D

The only way I would get that textured black one over the others is if I were building a system in a machine shop so the technicians could listen to some tunes or watch a film on their break. It would also fit well in a GreaseMonkey - you need good bass on the TV shows while you wait for them to change your oil. But that is just me.

Ya know what, I just reviewed your thread in the systems gallery and after seeing more pics of your room, I am changing my vote to OAK. It would look great sitting next to the black speakers. I mean, your side tables are light wood and black. At least it goes with the established theme of the room.

That's it. Now he's never gonna pull the trigger. Even Strube concedes the Waffle in this one is strong. Just wait until he starts to consider the raw awesomeness of DIY ... I need another Waffle/Force line here. :)

Who's being mean now? :D

So, Factor, the options appear to be: textured black Ultra, rosenut Ultra, oak Ultra, cylinder Ultra, DIY, and...keep the one that you have. I might be missing two or three, though. :)
