I've been looking to buy Polk RTI A7 speakers for a while now but the only sales that come up are on the black version.  I want cherry.

Stores seem to only stock black versions.  I saw an ad in the flyer the other day for a pair of RTI A7 and CSi6 center channel for $1200  ..I would buy that but not black.

Any suggestions?  I definitely don't want black.

As the saying goes... there is no harm in asking. Go into the store, talk to one of the sales people, and ask them whether they would be willing to order the cherry version for the sale price of the black version. If you are spending that amount of money, sometimes the sales people may be willing to go to that extra effort to make the sale.
