I also wanted my Klipsch stuff to match, in my case with a teak bookcase. Fearing the worst I rubbed a reddish "mahogany" on my "oak oil" cabinets and---woow, teak. Then I bought a black flat paint (or stain, don't know) sub and thought I could live with it, but noooooo........ So I sanded it first with a coarser grit then finished it with 150-200, mixed up some stain and wooow, Teak. If your stuff is veneered in a real wood finish why not put in some work, find a tan to kahki stain and make the whole room and system look killer custom. Just like the sound, only you have to like the way they look.
