Default Gloss or Satin?

A pair if 113's I'll be purchasing soon enough.

I've decided on the Gloss.

Just curious as to your choice and why.

Jesse.......I chose gloss for my Fathom f113 because it looks more attractive in a room with furniture.

Jesse, I have F112's, F113's, and Gothams, all in Gloss. They look spectacular and are a breeze to maintain.

Yep - any sub I would be acquiring would have to be in gloss; it just looks swanky and cool.

Gloss unless you will have problems keeping fingerprints off of it.

I'll take 'em either way. I'm more interested in how they sound.

I think the Gloss would reflect the sound more than the Satin.
