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  /SA
