Dark red is my fav
Prefer a matt or silk finish- not glossy
I like the dark red idea, and definitely not a gloss finish. Another colour that might look good, copper/bronze, will you do the stand in black? What colour are the walls where the speakers will be placed?
Just remembered, this is the type of colour I mean, also if you click on the Extreme version, a dark silver is shown, and also if you do the same with X Diamond you can see rocket red, by clicking on the colours the speakers change as if by magic. Most of the colours appear to be gloss finishes which don't look bad, but they are broken up with black.

Hello Dave,
Walls are cream but the room is soon to have some work done. I can't see the colour changing too much, it may even get painted cream again.
Thanks for that link. They are some interesting looking speakers. The dark silver and rocket red are both quite appealing. I also like the copper colour and gold colour, copper probably being my favourite.
I was going to do the stand in baltic birch ply translam style and just finish it with an oil. There will be a ring of ply wood around each driver and one separating the two steel hemispheres. The plies will be visible like the stand.
This will affect how I finish the spheres but non of this is set in stone yet.
Translam ply construction looks like this. I am eager to get as much wood into them as possible to dilute the sound signature from any one material.
