WHAT'S UP WITH MARANTZ?

ugh.   For the love of God, let's keep A'Gon politics free!  There are plenty other places to express your political leanings.

Agreed!  I seen nothing in his comments that had to with this thread - the color availability of Marantz products. 

As OP, I suggest we close this thread.   Most posters are of a like mind, a reference item from a company with an esteemed history should offer their classic color scheme as an option. Especially at such a lofty price for a SACD player which is, in fact, a niche product.   

There is no argument with the "sound only" and the "pro black"  posters.  This thread was not about how the product sounds.   

Thanks

How is the discussion of market research "political"?
We're talking about taste and it's proportion to an audience sufficient to justify the costs of offering more than one color, which is obviously in line with the OP's topic.

I see dead subject matter all the time.
