Lots of opinions! Unless you want your new speakers to be a colorful design statement you best choose black. Especially Meridian DSP are powerfull designs by shape and IMO don't need color at all, that is only distraction. Black goes with any interior design and interior color which saves you headaches when you want to make a change (or are kindly asked for by a new GF). Regardless of any light shining on them, they will always be black Well a luxury challenge isn't it? Enjoy! I know I'm very fortunate to be having this dilemma... interesting on black, while I 'get it' I also found that when I had my 5200's in black it's a bit like a black car... look great but very tricky to keep clean! I went for Graphite originally partly because I have a few "industrial" metal bits in my house with the wood (I'm in a barn), Stove, bookshelves, even the doors, and the shiny graphite actually seemed a bit easier to live with and a bit "warmer" than the black. Fun and games... decisions ... decisions ...

My vote would be for black too. In the same way that a concert grand is a serious bit of kit and it's black, I think of 8ks as a serious bit of kit that deserve that sort of respect and gravitas. Not that I don't get the idea of other colours too. Nice dilemma.

I find the white striking with the black front and accents.

To my mind, in black, they look remarkably like Darth Vadar. Probably the most sensible colour, though...

RAL 2009 or similar statement colour, you only have one exclusivity chance, take it! Every time you walk in the room you will turn them on, no chance they will drift into obscurity. Forget the future resale value and live on the edge.
However fingerprints will be a problem every, visitor will involantarilly lovingly touch them. Just my experience.
