For eons all my kit was black, but about two years ago I began a move to silver for electronics and natural wood finishes (especially cherry) for speakers.
My favorite receiver brand is Marantz and the US market only gets black but I wanted silver. I finally found one on Amazon UK and the price was still competitive despite shipping and the required power converter.
I've often wondered if WAF was the reason for all the black. The spend would be grudgingly agreed with with a provisor to make it "disappear. Hence the black!
