what is more popular silver or black face plates


It seemed back in the 80's & 90's most high end components were black. Although some components today still offer black finishes it seems silver is now more popular. What are your thoughts & color preference?

I prefer black because unlike children, equipment should be heard and not seen.
 

However, I will buy any color if there is a deal to be made (there are also exceptions too; I surprised myself when I selected red for my office speakers, without regrets).

I prefer black, but been getting a lot of silver- oh wait, that’s my hair

Fender is making class D modeling versions of those amps-- the so-called Tone Master series. There are good reports on their sonics but complaints about their pricing and concerns about whether they can be adequately serviced.
