Does anyone have any higher resolution photos of HSU speakers/subs in the espresso finish? With the thanksgiving sale I think I'm gonna go with em, my wife just wants to see some better pics of the finish first :)

Hi Jon,

Here is a comparison photo of our different finishes on the VTF/ULS subs and on the horn speakers:

I've also attached a photo of the Espresso finish that shows a bit more detail of this finish.

Sincerely,

Thanks for the pics Pete, my wife approved and I ordered last night. I'll post some pics and impressions once I get it all setup! I know the sound won't be ideal off the bat as I'm putting them on a tv stand till I can order the speaker stands - but I'm looking forward to getting em all setup!

Thank you so much Jon! We are very much looking forward to first impressions, and some nice pics too :)

So I've had my speakers and sub since Tuesday now and so far... wow. The positioning of the speakers is far from optimal for the time being and they still sound pretty fantastic. I was "downgrading" to them from my B&W 683 and, I didn't do a side by side or double blind, but from memory - I'm not really sure it was a "downgrade" any more. The sub is just phenomenal... I've been playing a lot of CoD Modern Warfare 2 and when someone calls in an AC-130 during multiplayer my dog flees the room as if her life depended on it. Movies are fantastic and music in a 2.1 configuration is superb as well.

I'll post some more detailed impressions and pics once I feel like taking a break from listening long enough to do so :) I'll also be doing a comparison of the bookshelves against a set of B&W 805s at a friends house at some point in the coming weeks. Should be interesting to see how they do in a double blind against speakers in such a different price bracket.
