    Default LS90 finish touch up

    I just bought a pair of LS90 black speakers at a flea market for $85. I have them in line with my PSW12 sub, CS1 center and they sound great. The only issue I have is the black stain finish. There are a couple of places where the stain is gone down to the veneer. I don't know if there is a particular stain I should be using. Any special techniques? Recommendations? Thanks for any input.

    Welcome to club polk!

    Congrats on a very nice pair of speakers. I used a black sharpie to touch mine up, however I had minimal "edge" scuffing.

    +1 on the black sharpie. My LS50"s are oak finish but I had great results touching up my black LSfx's with a sharpie...

    Damn man why can't I find a deal like that??? I have been lurking for a pair of LS90's for years off and on.
