Question Black, White, or Silver?

[Fandango Andy]

From the responses to a recent post I got the impression most people on here don't really care about the visual aesthetics of their systems. Some even downright dislike the look of HiFi equipment. I was surprised having read lots of comments in the past about people not buying something because of how it looks, or the colour of it. For me sound comes first, but I don't want an eyesore in my room.

So I thought I would post a poll for fun and see if people really don't care.

If you were starting again with a new system, assuming your chosen components come with colour options, which would you choose?

Depends on the decor of the room, as well as what the equipment looks like - some products look better in a particular finish. And whether I want it to stand out or not 🙂

I prefer a darker titanium to silver, bordering on gunmetal grey. Silver can be a little too bright and sometimes cheap looking.

Gunmetal gray. I love that colour. I had my alloy wheels redone in that colour when I had them refurbished. It would be a close run thing between gunmetal and the titanium of my Yamaha AV receiver if I was starting again. My current system is a right mix of colours. Titanium, champagne, black.

If I'm upgrading, I try to stick to the same colour theme but if it's a must have product and they have no option for alternative colours, I'll probably say; sod it and buy it because I want it!

I'd agree. If all my kit came in Titanium I would be a happy man.
that said it took me a good while to find my amp that wasn't black.
glad I held out...

If I ever get round to saving for a Pathos InPolEar, I will order it in red.
