I've never cared for the "2001" black monolith look. For my taste the only place black speakers anywhere near the size of the 3.7 work well is in a dark-walled room set up for home theater.
Otherwise choose something which can blend in and not call attention to itself. This would not only be more visually pleasing for me but it should better assist the sonic experience of the music floating in space. When the speakers are more visually transparent they might also be more sonically transparent.
For these reasons I too would go with Grant's suggestion.
And to expand on BDP24's point about placement, unless you will have adequate dispersion or absorption treatments on the front wall behind the speakers they should be positioned at least 5' out into the room.
Have fun.
