Speakers in white or silver? (1 Viewer)

Howdy guys,

New here, but a vetertan to most things audio.

I finally selected a "budget" set of speakers for our multi-purpose room, to use with an Onkyo TX-NR525 with Audissey EQ.

The Energy Take Classic 5.1 seemed like a great fit for my budget. However, there are serious decor issues. Without going into too much detail, black speakers, no matter how good they are, simply won't do (I purchased the Take Classic 5.1 and am satisfied with them sound-wise, but they'll have to go back).

I remember back in the 90's, pretty good white 5.1 sets were easy to find. Same with Silver sets about 10 years back. However I can't seem to find much these days that's "acceptable" in white or silver.

It seems all the decent stuff is black only these days...

Suggestions?

The easiest and best way to solve this is buying your way out. A mid-tier speaker company like Axiom (my favorite) will customize the speaker color. That way you get great sounds and matching decor: http://www.axiomaudio.com/m2-bookshelf-speakers

But if budget is the driver, I was keeping these NHTs on a list for surrounds and they come in white.

I've never heard them, bet they stood out when I was doing some poking around a while back.

Rustoleum in a can has worked for me. In fact, that's what I used on my silverish speakers. http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/201027377826?lpid=82

The speaker below is painted a an automotive paint shop with Porsche paint. The surface below the paint is a matte laminate that is hand sanded before going out for paint. MSRP on them is $55,000/pair.

KEF E series are in white.Or like Robert says...Gut the cabinet and spray paint.
