maintenance of the piano black sf concertos


I am in the market for a pair of sonus faber concertos. I am still deciding on the black piano finish or the oak finish. To the audiphiles who have the black piano may I direct this question to you. Do you fell that the lacquer finish deteriorates more compared to the wood? Maybe more prone to scratches? Or harder to maintain?

If given the chance would you buy the black piano finish again?

Thanks,

Zymol "HD Cleanse" followed up with Zymol "Vintage" wax.

to apply the HD...use a soft hand polishing pad and to remove use microfiber towels (wal mart has them) that have been washed...and then rinsed MULTIPLE times as the soap will leave a haze. Trust me on the multiple rinses.

do a small area at a time and don't let the product dry before removal.

the Vintage wax is just icing on the cake as you really aren't exposing the speakers to the elements that a car is exposed to, but the shine you'll get....ohhhhh yeah.

I may not know stereos like many people on this site...but when it comes to waxing a car...I'm OCD...and the Dr's I detail for won't go anywhere else if that says anything.

No...I don't sell zymol...but I swear by it...and so do lots of people that show their cars at the Pebble Beach Concours.
Hi guys,

thanks for the reply to the post. With what it takes to maintain the balck piano finish I t would be the walnut finish for me.

Thanks again. This forum is the best.

I have never tried it, but what about blowing the dust off with compressed air?
