WHAT'S UP WITH MARANTZ?


Just discovered that Marantz only offers black colored equipment in the US. (North America)
What happened to the classic champagne color?

Was going to buy the new reference 10 SACD player.   For apx $7K you would think that they would offer more options than black!

No sale.

Long ago, I had an all black (no choice) system, but upgrading forced me into other colors (no choice). I was then cool with that, and started to enjoy mixing it up, because in a way it showcased the individual components. As I continued to upgrade, my choices became black only again. Today, I'm back to 99.5% black again. My last piece to upgrade is my line stage. One of my serious contenders for this is Coincident. Guess what, silver only!

So, the bigger question is, should we compromise the sound for aesthetics? For most of us, I believe the answer would be no, so the frustration over this finish issue is well understood.
