How do natural Sierra towers look?
This should be an unusual question on this forum since most of the threads are very technical and about performance.
I am getting ready to place an order for Sierra towers and I'm torn between espresso and natural. I am leaning towards natural/wood-grain but a web search did not get me many picture samples. Dina has graciously sent me some pics but I am not able to visualize how they'd look in an average home setup.
Do members have any insights to offer on this topic? Or pics of their setup if willing?
I also got to know natural is not the popular choice for towers. Now I am curious why that is the case. Are darker colors better for HT setups?
Thanks!
Re: How do natural Sierra towers look?
I am a fan of the natural finish. My Sierra-2s on custom stands look great. Here’s a old and messy picture of the set up.
That said, the lighter color is not as “slimming” as a darker color.

Natural is quite popular for Sierra-1/Sierra-2. For your towers, espresso and black bamboo are the most popular. Have you scanned through our community photo gallery thread?

I’m a huge fan of the naturals. This first link has some towers and is what pushed me to go with naturals.

Here is a link to mine, but I don’t have towers. I have since replaced the 2’s with a pair of ex’s.

If you need pics of the expresso, let me know as I could throw some on here.
Re: How do natural Sierra towers look?
Thanks. I found ample samples from web search for espresso, so I won't trouble you with that.
