    Default 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!

    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.

    Thank you for the links, diesel79. I haven't seen those pics before but I have seen your setup and was thoroughly impressed with your setup.

    Thank you for sharing, curtis. I have seen your setup from forum pics.

    Thank you, davef. I went through it but not super thoroughly. I was relying on google search to do the work for me but it didn't help muich. diesel79's links above are perfect.

    If you need pics of the expresso, let me know as I could throw some on here.

    Thanks. I found ample samples from web search for espresso, so I won't trouble you with that.
