Greg.......I will gladly take credit for Pete Rose's girlfriend, and the blonde in the leather pants, but you'll have to look elsewhere for the culprit that posted the hugging body builders. That damn sure wasn't me.

I bought a bottle of Lexol leather preservative today. Since I couldn't find any hot blondes with leather pants, I went ahead and tried it on the King Ranch Expedition leather seats. I like it. Easy to apply, and left the leather soft, supple, and looking beautiful. Lexol works much better than the leather preservative Jaguar supplied with the XF. I'll treat my seats at least three times a year. That should keep them looking mighty fine.

They sure sound great and I will do a little write up once I get them more time with them
The user's manual states " The front panels are of an amorphous material lined with leather"

The Sonus Faber website says leather, Sumiko says leather, the owner's manual says leather, and glossy ads say leather, so why would SF and Sumiko go to the trouble of misdirecting owners, and prospective customers? The simple answer for me is, they would not do that.

I agree Dan. Why would they go to all the trouble of building speakers like this and then cheap out by saving a small amount on pleather.
