Just got the email. That is a nice colour that I certainly would've considered.
I much prefer the contrast with yours.
These look a bit too green to me “ military “ :smt018
Your contrast in the room is much better. :smt023
Thank you for saying that. Your comment does boost my confidence that I made the right choice. Fear of missing out does happen to me on occasion. :D

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

That seems to be a prerelease demonstration pair. An escapee 😆
September price list will be out soon...
I Hope for Linn because them are horrible :smt030. The question Is: Is it possibile to build a more ugly speaker?
I 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.
I 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…
@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.

Right! just to get back on topic, they remind me of the Sonus Faber.
I just saw photos of the two Sonus Faber models that they do resemble. Aside from the curved cabinets....

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.

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.

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.
