what is more popular silver or black face plates

I have no preference.  My AV system is all black faceplates but my music system has more silver than black.  I have the impression that black is standard for professional installations while silver has an aesthetic more suitable for residential systems.

Anyhow, here's an earlier thread on the subject:

Silver and black ala Moon.

I prefer black.  I have low level lighting in my listening room and black matte virtually disappears which is what I want.  

BLACK !!!

But have a White Turntable and White Subs to Accent The Look! 🎹 🔲 👍

I don't really care, I guess......never really thought about it too much.
