Wow Don, those look really nice, they blend in really well with the wall. They look lighter in color than what I was thinking, is that just the picture being off a bit?
I noticed you set them in the horizontal plain rather than the pictures from GIK which have them turned to the vertical. I'll be mounting mine the same way you have them. I even asked Bryan if he thought it would make any difference and he said he didn't think so.
Glad to hear they make a nice improvement, to bad they won't just sell you the scatter plate, it seems like a simple solution except they are probably unfinished. It would still be nice to have the choice to stain them yourself, and look at all the people who have GIK products that could upgrade them without having to sell and then buy again.
Thanks so much for the pictures and your impressions, your room is really nice looking and those speakers are a work of art. I'm just about to order my Alphas and Tri-traps so I'll post some pictures when I get them installed.
