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.

@jmcgrogan2, If you have to compromise then Pass Labs is not a bad choice! Which amp do you have? 

I will ask the OEM if the product finish can be changed, even its a special order. If not, then its something either you have to live with it or seek out another OEM.

@maxboy00 , XA-100.5 monoblocks, very nice, though I would prefer black, but as you know, black is not an option with Pass Labs.

Why would the tax be higher in the USA for silver?
