Hifisand,
I didn't see your post earlier. I would add a hearty welcome too! This is one of the greatest audio forums on the internet. If you were a member, you could post pictures of your speakers and system plus receive a lot of other perks. Or if you have a link like to say, photo bucket, I would like to see them. ~Mike |

Welcome Hifisand
Gday Mike, I went with cherry because I like wood ... have photographed them over against the walls and ceilings which are lined with hardwood ply... they fit the room in cherry finish... that said, the pic in the early first impressions from Jacob Heilbrunn article on the 20.7s looked really great.. if that is the new black on black then I would definitely go with that for 20.7s if and when... Have heard both the wood and metal framed 3.7s I'm not sure the sound quality gain of the metal finish over wood being noticable... however I would consider a good set of stands essential (I went with Sound Anchors) and make a farrrrrr greater difference to the transparency and authority of the bass... this would be the single most beneficial tweak that I have done at this end to the Maggies... wouldn't ever run them without stands once you have tried it... also upgrading jumpers and fuses is also very good move Could definitely live with the 3.7s for the very long haul but of course seduction may ultimately outdo common sense and end up with 20.7s eventually... PS wood is good. Graham Last edited by audiot servant; 02-06-2012 at 02:28 AM. |

Graham,
Thanks for taking the time to post your thoughts and pictures. The cherry does have a nice rich look to it. They look really great in your room too. Thanks for the input on the stands. ~Mike |

I have 20.1's with the light oak frame with black fabric.
I have them in a dark green room. They really look great within the room. Bill |

I'm liking the looks of those! I like all the wood in the room too.

Thanks guys,
I built the house to match the trim on the speakers... well, not exactly true... designed it 10 years ago now but I knew I'd go for a pair of cherry wood Maggies eventually. Graham |
