is the outside of this black ash like the speakers

I am not an authority on this but I think it is some composite and not ash. It is an attractive piece of furniture and you will not be embarrassed by it. The beauty for me is the richness of the base sound. I have it turned way down because I can literally make my house shake. Hope this answers your question.

Wooden speakers would sound like crap... The cabinets are high grade MDF, finished with a high grade applied "wood grain" in black. I build cabinets and am very pleased!

It was pretty thick material but we didn't have anything real dark behind it like a black speaker. If u double it up u can't see black behind it. Hope this helps!

Its a cheap wood. I tighten the screw on the speaker and two of it chip on me. I look like the type of wood that is made from recycle wood and anyone can karate chop it. But with that said, it did work well with the speaker I bought for it. I really have no complaint.

Hi, your question is a good one. I can not tell the difference speakers on their side or standing up when they are playing. I really think it is just what a person likes(prefers). I hope you will do what you like best. Take care, Ron

I bought the IKEA Benno CD/DVD shelf in brown-black ash for $50, cut it in half and put a base on it. It's almost the same color and just the right width for the front speakers. I think it looks better than speaker stands. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/07305310

It's a drak black. Like painted wood. But because of the design it's not very intrusive in the space.

Yes. There is a removable fabric screen over the front. The screen has a plastic frame underneath with pins that fit into the speaker body to hold them in place. With the screen on, in non-direct lighting you can just barely see the speakers underneath

Yes. Perfect for around a camp fire or practice. Not too loud but acceptable.

Hello jman.I have a wood deck in my backyard and I have this item on it, and I love it. But I do have something underneath to catch the ashes.

Yes, it looks like the pictures on the page. The Phoenix is a slightly more expensive version of this speaker with better asthetics. Internally, both are said to be the same.

I love this fire pit. I have not had any trouble with the ashes falling out the sides. I do empty the ashes after each use, though.

I have to agree with the other respondents in that I would not expect these speaker to last with any outdoor exposure. I do in fact love these speakers and have them in two rooms currently and plan to expand to a whole-house. Completely indoors. I do have the external Yamaha Speakers which have served me well over the past few years. They are mounted in a case which may not give you the appearance you're going for. But no, these guys would not do well in an outdoor environment.

They are all black. They are actually very high quality speakers for their size and cost. They have a nice look, sound great, and they are small and skinny so they don't take up lots of desktop real estate, lol. Unless you are trying to fill a very large room with booming surround sound, you won't be disappointed. I use them at work in a large shipping area and they are more than adequate. Hope that helped. Take care!!

Both speakers have covers. They are just showing you the speaker cone in the photo.

On my speakers, it's a black background with metallic lettering. The writing on the actual speaker is also gray, not white. I thought they were going to look funny too (I received my speakers the first week of January), and contemplated even buying them. I'm glad I did though. I saved a little money, and so far have a solid product. You can remove them, yes. However, the speaker grate is indented for the logo, so it could make them look even worse. Not to mention you may leave glue residue behind. I'd say pick up the speakers if that is holding you back, they look a lot better then this picture shows.

I use my speaker mainly outdoors. Sounds great anywhere. Never have exposed it to rain wind and sand, so dont know how it stands up elements. Great little speaker.
