Whos says just because the mains have black grills that the surrounds must also have black grills?
Man, whenever it come to these kinds of decisions, you have to ultimately be the judge....none of us have to live with the speakers on a daily basis.

Good point Rick. Gold grills on the qs8's might be alright. Darren, is naked an option for you? Your qs8's that is?

I left the gold grills on the Qs.
Order the M60s with the black and order the Qs with the gold.

im buying the m60's in mansfield beech, and i cant decide between the black grille and the gold ones.
I own Mansfield Beech M3s, VP150, and 3 QS4s... I bought gold grilles, but the only ones that live on the speakers are the QS4 woofer grilles (to keep crap out of the top woofer - I like them for those, being the only grilles on would look a bit weird to draw attention to them. The rest were bought with gold grilles so I'd never get the idea to put them on.
If you want to be a workaholic, have a naggy wife at home.
If you want to make sure you never slip and decide to put your grilles on, buy them in an ugly colour.
Honestly, though I don't think I've seen a grille cloth I've ever really liked, so I'm probably not the guy to ask. The black and charcoal (custom) both look good on Mansfield Beech though.

i think i might get black for it all, but when i buy the qs8's in a couple months maybe i could get the black grills for the front and gold for the top and bottom, which i think would look good, im just wondering if when i order (ill call) if they will let me get two different colours, but if not, then ill order the custom two top ones ($30 for a pair, so $60) i think that it would look great though....

I too had the same thoughts about the grill color. Check out the link in my sig. I have the gold grill and was thinking if the black would look better. I haven't really decided yet, but since I already have the gold ones, thats what I'm sticking with.

My Axiom Setup. As you can see I have that all-black setup and I like it. It does not distruct from the video and looks quite great with the lights on. I plan to add matching spikes to the sub so that they look even more "related.
