Has anyone seen the Sonus Faber Futura in the Piano Black finish? It is hard to tell the overall look of this speaker from the pictures due to high gloss finish, and wondering if how they look in person? Is the black on black (Black Gloss Finish with Anodized Black Top) too much of a good thing? Does the piano black take away from the Elegance of the Futura look?

I've heard through numerous sources that the chrome nickel tops can tarnish easily if not maintained regularly, so it has me looking for the black top Futuras. Unfortunately, I've only seen the Black Top in the Violin Red and Piano Black finishes, and am not a fan of the Violin Red. Unfortunately, I would have really liked the Graphite or Walnut finish, but it doesn't appear they ever produced these with the Anodized top. Being the Futuras are discontinued, my only luck is trying to find a pair on the used market at a reasonable price.

I listened to the Serafino Tradition and was not a fan of the new line. Thanks in advance.
