Hello,
To start is was due to cost, heat, and what was available due to technology . Ayre components are silver because they are brushed aluminum. If you wanted a black anodized finish it was a $400 option but the remote is still going to be silver if the remote is aluminum. My Denon Receiver and SACD player were silver by choice. I have a mix of black and silver. A lot of companies are now mixing the two like Rotel, NAD, and Mark Levenson. The only thing I prefer is blue lights on everything or give me a choice for the led color. I prefer silver or grey vehicles. Even my Ferrari was anthracite or metallic grey with deep red interior very nice. I had a black car and it is impossible to keep clean.
