nezff Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Hello guys. I have a serious dilemnia. I have a chance to get a pair of RF63s and RC64 for a pretty good price shipped to the door, but there is one catch. They are in the Cherry finish. My setup(RF62s,RC62,RS42s,and RW10d) is all black now. This is such a good price, that I dont really want to pass it up just because the finish. Im pretty sure the cherry will be ok, It just wont really match anything. lol HELP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted January 16, 2009 Moderators Share Posted January 16, 2009 I'll be honest, that does not seem like a dilemma to me. I absolutely love the cherry finish on my RF-83's. When I first unpacked them, I stared at them and think I even caressed them. LOL. My wife just stared and laughed at me. I was like a kid at Christmas. Granted, this was by far the best pair of speakers I have EVER owned in my life so I was excited just to have them. In my theater room, my front three will be cherry, side and rear are black. It actually matches better for my setup because my walls are maroon and other accents are black (seats, ceiling, entertainment center) etc. So it goes great in my opinion. The cherry just looks so elegant to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nezff Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 I DID IT!!!!!!!!!! I ORDERED A PAIR OF 63S AND A 64 CENTER. YES!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted January 16, 2009 Moderators Share Posted January 16, 2009 Congrats. They are awesome speakers. You gonna sell your others now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nezff Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 Yeah Im pretty sure I will sell my old setup. Not sure if I might keep the RF62s or not to use for surround duty when I build my house and have a media room. I really need to make up some of the cost, so I might sell everything except the RS42s. You interested Youth in something I have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nezff Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 I dont mind either one. I think Im actually gonna like the Cherry finish. My floor is dark wood, and my entertainment center is white. O well, the speakers themself will be awesome I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay481985 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I have the rc64 and rf-83 exactly in my line of sight so I never get to see the cherry wood as much as I would like. Oh btw my cherry have gotten much darker since I first brought them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nezff Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 Oh btw my cherry have gotten much darker since I first brought them. I kinda hope mine get darker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted January 17, 2009 Moderators Share Posted January 17, 2009 I've had mine for about 1 year and it doesn't appear to me that they have gotten any darker. Maybe it's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Traveler Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I've had mine for about 1 year and it doesn't appear to me that they have gotten any darker. Maybe it's just me. I have 11 various Reference speakers that are in Cherry veneer and I haven't noticed any color change--Then again, if it's a gradual process...

Jay481985 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 i noticed this because I brought my rc-64 about three years after the rf-83, the colors are not perfectly matched though its not horrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
