ascend will answer any questions you have regarding custom finishes. i'm thinking about picking up a pair of custom finished cbm-170s for a 2 channel application in another room. dave and james assured me that i would not be dissatisfied with whatever finish i choose.

i have the matte black which i really like for my HT because it keeps things transparent and matches my decor. i was thinking about gloss black for the 2 channel 170s.
