We discussed it in the old forum as well, I like these colored fronts, here is mine, and it do combine very nice with the rosewood

Sorry to interfere guys but I wanna show you my new reclothed (Rosewood) S75's, S30's, RL35's, RL2000's and RL6000's. Pictures or it didn't happen?

 

 

Leslie: Wow where did you find the red cloth for the RL 6000s? I got hold of a cheap pair of RL 140 that needs new frets.

regarding the colors, I think the bright blue and red not only look good but also look more in line with what is considered "Scandanavian" modern than the black grills. I always have associated the use of color with this kind of design. Certainly it was so when I discovered such things in college back in the 70's at a furniture store named Scan Design. I can see why B&O would have opted for a safe and widely used black, I do remember some wild blue and orange JBL grills then.

But I think the colored grills are faithful to the design aesthetic. Jeff

Blue is where it's at! :-D

Reminds me of a Blue Honda😁

The JBL L100 was what I was thinking about, you could get orange, blue, or brown foam grills. I once had a pair of the Design Acoustics D12's, the dodecahedron shaped omnidirectional speakers in blonde wood with bright blue grills.
