chebby:
Big Chris:The RX2s caught her eye as she loves white, so the gloss white RX range tick all her aesthetic boxes.
I have seen many gloss finishes on Rega and MA speakers (and others).
One problem I have with such finishes is that whenever they are placed near to televisions (invariably gloss black too) the speaker's finish looks identical. In other words, people will just assume the speakers are also made of black plastic.
Then there is the dust.
I suppose the same problems won't arise with white (unless the TV is white too.)
I am still a sucker for light coloured real wood finishes (maple, oak, beech etc) even though they probably cost the same to manufacture.
They scratch quite easily too, as I've discovered that my cats are using my gloss black MA sub as a springboard to the windowsill
