Thank you John
Starting to question my judgement. While I like my black 500 series gear, the size of the G series suits silver. IMHO it looks great.

I prefer the silver G series units. I find the black units too understated.

Perhaps someone could make clip on covers like for phones - then you could have Leopard Skin one day and purple with yellow dots the next!

Time for my medicine, I think!

I personally like black better, but in parts of the US there seems to be a silver trend; seems like a lot of the manufacturers are returning to silver for some reason (I like the well textured silver pretty well actually);

by the way - Chris, if you've decided on the SW5500 sub , be sure to shoot me an e-mail;

My initial thoughts when ordering my G68 a year ago, was like many of yours. Black would be the best choice! However that would have added a month in delivery time, so I ordered a "silver". I'm glad I did.

I must say that the silver unit is much nicer than the black ones I've seen.

Anyways, you will be happy either way ... they SOUND the same smile

Then fit "under hi-fi" neon lighting.....
