I have owned very few pieces of black faced audio gear in my time. When I have the option I tend to lean towards the silver model. How bout you? Do you have a preference or does it even matter?
I mostly prefer black, but with gold, gold/brown combinations, or other colors mixed in for contrast/visual diversity. I would find everything the same color to be visually boring.
Silver, I find black components dull and drab looking. Wood panels done tastefully is my first choice. Wood has a beauty and natural warmth that just isn't possible with metals.
Silver has the nice horizontal grain just faintly visible with the super clean silk screening you just don't get to appreciate in the black finish. I feel the same way when it's comes to my choice of a wood finish. Never ever black.
