i'd probably go with the piano black. while i think the natural finish looks better than most speakers with a wood veneer or something like that, i still prefer solid black speakers.

I was at the Ascend Acoustics facility this past Thursday and met David. I purchased the piano black. He was good enough to let me look at the natural bamboo finish. They are both very nice.
My speakers are going into a custom cabinet so color isn't as important and the black would ultimately be a better match. The piano finish will require significantly greater amount of TLC. The bamboo finish is really stunning and looks better in person than the few pictures I have seen. It (the finish) also looks and feel much more durable and more "kid-friendly."
My vote is piano black because that's what I bought. Bamboo/natural is a good bet if this finish fits your decor and you are looking for durability.
David - thanks much. I hope to have many years of enjoyment w/ your speakers!
Well, I was set on Bamboo for a few weeks. And I mean set. And then it came time to order. I looked at the photos one last time and went...."yeah...gotta have the piano black."
Time to go buy more microfiber!
PS: The black will match the decor in my HT much better than the natural, unfortunately.

i voted piano black... though i guess if price was no issue, the custom finish would be a no brainer... seeing as how they can match any color.
