What's up w/silver, is it back in style?

Yes, happily we are starting to see some color on faceplates other than basic black. Bryston has been offering silver faceplates for a year or so, and I notice that NAD also has a line with silver faceplates. Sony is also offering silver faceplates on some of the DVD players, to complement their WEGA TV line.

I have always thought that silver looks much more elegant than the dreary black. I love that classe has made silver their "look" and kept it for many years. It's nice to see more brands going silver.
