partington super dreadnought colors -who's seen em in flesh?

different sites always quote 2 options: 1 is silver, the second is either 'black' or 'graphite'. pics of these stands are so rare they must be a government secret or something. some show a graphite that is almost dark grey and some show a really shiny black paint, but it's not entirely clear if it;s the super dreadnought. anyone seen these in real life?

Re: partington super dreadnought colors -who's seen em in flesh?

this is the super dreadnought, you can tell which is the super dreadnought and which is the broadside by how close the four tubular sections are to the corners of the bass and top plate, on the broadside they are much nearer to the edges/corners. They are more matt than shiny silver in colour and they don't look as angular as the photos suggest.



I can't vouch for the exact colour on the broadside as the examples I borrowed from the dealer are black, to be honest with the diminutive Leemas the broadsides were an unecessary step to far though I would consider them if the speakers were much taller.

ps The lead and resin filled option sounds best to my ears (and with these speakers) but they do weigh a feckin ton.

pps your profile says UK.. Colors ?!
