Matte black SUB coming back?

When, if ever, will the matte black SUB be reproduced? I refuse to buy the glossy version after seeing a friend of mine's scratched and dust covered. On top of the cosmetic damage the SUB doesn't look right with the other products on the shelf currently!

    Hi All82

    That's unfortunate that you will deprive yourself of the great sound enhancement that can be achieved with a Sonos sub. As for care, I sold one of my two year old Black subs (on eBay) for 75% of it's value to replace with a White one. The key to care for any gloss finish is simple. With a little TLC the Sonos sub will maintain it's out-of-the-box shine.

    1.Never use any polishes (even liquids have mild abrasives)
    2.Never dust with a dry cloth or paper towel.
    3.Use a damp cotton cloth to gently wipe the dust off
    4.Buff with a dry clean cotton cloth.
    5.Don't use it as a table.
    6.Place it somewhere out of traffic to avoid bumps.

    Cheers!

    Thanks all for the post and replies. Wondering if Sonos has any updates on a Matte Sub resurrection, especially now that the new Amp is out (and only available in Matte black)?

    Also, does anyone know whether the specs on the two Subs (Matte and Glossy) are the same, or if not, how they differ?

      Hi MADAMIMADAM

      The answer is the same as was given a year ago regarding a Matte black sub comeback. The specs were the same when both finishes were available. But only Sonos knows what the future holds :?
