Just got the email. That is a nice colour that I certainly would've considered.
These look a bit too green to me “ military “
Your contrast in the room is much better.

Hard to tell from a photo on a website but it looks more gunmetal grey than green to my eyes.

Re: Linn speaker development
@Ian_km you are right. I saw here the "official" photo of new Linn speakers and big ones painted in White or wood are more beautiful than black. Black are good for Little speaker.Ian_km wrote: ↑Fri Aug 30, 2024 7:32 amI don’t think the colour is doing them any favours, maybe a lighter veneer will work better. Prefer the Kudos Titan look, but then they are twice the price…arm wrote: ↑Thu Aug 29, 2024 10:43 pmI have to agree with you Bianconero, These 150's should have been prettier at almost twice the price of the out going M140''S.In fact, I think the 140's might be a better looking speaker.Bianconero wrote: ↑Thu Aug 29, 2024 6:50 pmI Hope for Linn because them are horrible . The question Is: Is it possibile to build a more ugly speaker?

Here are some Live Photos (not touched up etc) taken with my iPhone. Hope it helps show the color better. This was the first pair of 360’s ever.

Re: Linn speaker development
On second thought, I think the Triton colour is too industrial even for my taste.

So hard to tell from photos. They now just look a dull grey.
Are you sure those are in Triton?

To bad the blue 360s are not connected and the spikes seem to be missing.

Re: Linn speaker development
Given the extremely nice fitted out architecture of the room, I would prolly had them color match the "door-frame and heater green", rather than bringing in a new blue color. Or Piano finish white to not have them suck out so much light.
The astethics of the placement is a bit challenging, as well as the rest of the hifi placement, which is not really clear from the picture.
They make out a great soundbar but would require some disturbing amount of cabling to trip over when going outside.
