I prefer horizontal...matches the widest dispersion axis too .

The horizontal grain is in continuity with the ports and has a more relaxed appearance.

Concur, it immediately gives a more relaxed feel. I also prefer horizontal.

Vertical. Also it matches the towers

Horizontal....... more aesthetically pleasing to me.

Horizontal is my vote. Grain looks better going the long way rather than short.

I'd be curious to know if the horizontal pattern could be applicable on the towers...now that would be neat...to have matching vertical and/or horizontal grain...

That would be very difficult to do, if even possible.

Horizontal

Thought as much...upon further reflection the new design does look nice especially with the natural finish...highlighting the grain length wise...

Horizontal.

Have you considered having the top and front horizontal and the sides vertical?

I’ve seen quite a few center channels like that. That way, from the sides, the LCR all have a vertical grain.

The downside to that design is if someone was using the Horizon as LR front mains, the top (and bottom) would be horizontal.
