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.

100% agree. I was going to get one to go with my champagne Accuphase. Looks like I'm looking for a used Accuphase now. Black gear is 20th century. I'm not sure what kind of information Marantz gathered to think the majority of the U.S. wants blacks gear.
