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.

@honeybee2012,
I am not sure it is anti Americanism. Sometimes companies go with previous data and if they find that a market tends to buy 1 color most of the time, then it is much more economical for the company to offer that product in 1 color. Maybe when they were offering the champagne color in the US, it did not sell that well compared to Black? I personally would love to see that champagne color as well. But if the component produces great music, then color should not matter. Of course that is just my view, and I can understand that yours would be different.
@hifiman5,
You are right. On page 62, they have shown and listed "champagne only" for $6999. Strangely it is not on their site.

@honeybee2012,
You should call up Audio advisor and order one right away, if that catalog is right.
Ye, bummer indeed. But looks like we will get another catalog with corrected photo. Man they have been sending many catalogs.
@Lalitk,
There is not Champagne Marantz on Audio Advisor. That was an incorrect information they printed in their catalog.
