What is the worst colour of speaker finish to you?

That HotRod version of a Meadowlark--didn't they have flames or something on it? I thought it was tacky as hell (no pun intended: I didn't catch it 'til I finished the next paragraph).

Regarding the "banalness"--I do find these threads more interesting though than ones asking which cables to get, or any other pseudo-scientific product that has insignificant increase in sound performance. And with these threads opinions are ok.

The orange marble finish of Green Mountain speakers gets my vote, pretty disgusting.

The Avant Garde horns are really over the top as well. Taylor made some really ugly yellow speakers a year or so ago. Flames are ridiculous.

For what it's worth, I like black woodgrain.

I own some Proklaim II's that are fabulous speakers but must admit they have a face (finish) that only an audiophile could love. Sort of a gray granite look and shaped like an outdoor rock speaker. But they do play music!!
