ChrisM Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Hello all! I'm hoping to purchase Vandersteen Quatros soon & I don't know what finish I'd like to order. It would be wonderful if there were a resource with pictures of different finishes (not the veneer swatches on the website). I'd request that owner's post images of their speakers if inclined along with the finish description. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Edwards Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Hello Chris and Happy New Year! I wish mine were the wood version (original cloth) .............. but you are in for an audio revelation! Play on Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomicTime Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 @ChrisM take a look at owners system photos also. There are quite a few. I The Treo are Ambrosia Maple and the 5a are rosewood. A current fave of mine are Zebrawood which is what @JonMhas on order i believe…. Best to you. As you no doubt know, Quattro is a unique, formidable world class speaker ! enjoy the music. @Brad Omight be time to start a speaker finishes section here… Jim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GdnrBob Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 You won't go wrong with any of the wood veneers, IMHO. My Treo's are Cherry and they look great and fit with my décor. Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctsooner Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I decided to do the paint version. Audi Havana Black (has copper flakes). I wish I went with a nice Crimson though. Lol. I’ll post pics later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I have Sapele. Picture to follow when I get the right light. Sorry for the delay. It's a perfect match to my Box Furniture Sapele rack. To Richard V's credit, he wouldn't make them until he found wood that met his quality criteria. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomicTime Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Unfortunately wood veneer won’t stick to the carbon fiber wrapped cabinet of the 7 , so just paint available there…. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctsooner Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Jim, I guess the big trade off is being able to have them painted in virtually any color that cars are painted, lol. Example: Your Lambo is painted in their special Purple (indigo'ish) color, you can have your Sub 9 system painted that same color. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomicTime Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Pete…blasphemy…..The problem with automotive paint is cars come and go like girlfriends in High school, but Vandersteen speakers are eternal…. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmz Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 That looks like the somewhere on the pathway between the southern side of the Marine base (Camp Pendelton?) and La Jolla. (I rode my bicycle down that way a few times.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the bike Thursday in down town Huntington Beach, and Saturday afternoon I was in Pacific Beach. I was pretty sore as I was not a cyclist, but had done a lot of skiing that winter. 100 miles is too much for the first ride, but the GF at the time bet me a beer I couldn’t do it... So I was committed. Dinner was at El Indio that night, and I slept like a log. I can hardly get off the sofa now. 😉 Edited January 15, 2022 by Holmz 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
