There is zero, none, nada difference with regard to sound. If you put on a polyurethane or other finish which affects the stiffness of the panel, you 'might' get some measurable change, but it will be very slight.

On musical instruments, such as trumpet - with which I am very familiar, the thin metal is an essential part of the sound and resonates the way the designer wants it to. Adding lacquer and/or plating will affect the sound. But when you're talking about a (hopefully/ideally) non-resonant panel such as your speaker cabinet, the cosmetic finish is irrelevant.

As Richard Blaine said, "ask your wife".
