+1 natural and matte finish. Teak veneer will be +1000

Same here!!
Nobody wants matte trust me. The preorder 560 uses a thin application of eggshell-type finish and it works quite well. I assume the ones in those pictures do too because they have some sheen to them.
I sense a choice of finish coming up -- some headphone manufacturers offer multiple colors of the same model, coiled vs. straight cables for instance (ala Audio Technica) -- so why not Hifiman?
Me too -- I vote for natural and matte finish. Dark teak veneer would be even better.
Some folks might want to write it off as Audeze finally solving their inconsistency issues, but if my experience with the LCD-X being underwhelming while the LCD-XC being stupid good sounding, while many of the comments on... other forums... are true, then it's still highly possible that Audeze's still suffering consistency issues.
Yours is a loaner pair, no? Could be the people taking care of it...didn't do such a great job? I've heard 3 pair of LCD-X and all have sounded outstanding (and the same). And if you liked the LCD-XC, the LCD-X are that much better to my ears.
