Have you thought about using a wood veneer and staining them.......
Or I'd go with black, it should compliment the Cream furniture.

Yup the missus dont want wood veneer and what the missus wants the missus gets ( My Balls were chopped when we got wed :eek:) -

If you already have cream furniture, a white or cream finish may have a significantly higher W.A.F. than black IMO, and look very classy too, if it's done right, the way our own Nikolas812 does it. Here's an example of his work, on a plain ol' piece of equipment:

Now, how not boring is that?!Alea jacta est! -
Kex,
WOW :eek:, that could never be described as Bland or Boring. I must admit i am leaning towards white but i change with every new post.
If i go all white though i'll have to change the Kef center from black gloss to white though

Me neither, i'm really chuffed with them, Even the missus managed a smile which is un heard of when it comes to speakers. -
Great looking speakers. Outstanding job on the cabinets. Do you have any pics with the grill covers on? Did you go with black or white? Again BEAUTIFUL

Thank you, i have still to make the grills. i'm considering a light grey i've seen for sale on flea bay. -
those are really nice looking hopefully sound as good as they look.. you could always just stain them and have a very obvious wood finish .. that would be really uniquei thinkMain 2ch -

Well, I imagine he sprayed the coats of paint on and sanded in between, then the same with the lacquer, just guessing.... Really helps to do this professionally and in a paint booth.....Testing
