Is it wrong to get a pair of speakers with different finishes for each? Ebony and ivory ... Live together in perfect harmony Side by side on my piano keyboard ..

I was thinking walnut for the left and rosewood for the right.

Ok, how about rosewood for the faces and walnut for the remainder?

Forget the finish and just dress them up

With the new "I can wait 21 days" option, the entry price for Active LFR-1100's in real wood plus 2 ADA-1000-5's is $7962.
That is a shockingly good value!

The M100, while terrific in the dynamics and detail (more so than the M5), just can't give me the imaging the M5 does. Are they firing straight forward?

It don't matter if they're toed or straight. The best way I can describe it is, the M5s "paint" images behind them in a very uncanny way. I've found this effect is lessened if the tweeters are at ear height or above. I swear I can "see" the performers. Others have made the same comment. I get this effect both in the main room and living room although because they are pushed closer to the front wall in the living room, the effect is lessened.
As I've said before, those relatively small M5s have no business sounding the way they do in my relatively large room. Listeners are stunned to take off their blinders and discover such a small speaker throwing such a soundstage. They really are remarkable.
I'll just add that the M5s completely disappear sonically. I haven't been able to achieve that with the M100s.

This must be room specific?
My towers don't exist, don't give away their position. And with the right recording and no competing noise you wouldn't believe my discription if you hadn't experienced it before.
Disappearing has an interesting caveat in that when using the center during a 5.1/7.1 playback the audio seems off, is not located at the speakers(actor's) mouth as shown on screen. I hadn't noticed this before getting these towers.
Probably wouldn't matter if I wasn't 12' from a 9-10' wide AT screen.
