Hi Fi seperates - Black or Silver?
Discussion
They do and I have it, but irritatingly they went for audio-only, so it has no HDMI inputs. They also didn't bother with the new uncompressed formats, so I'm seriously thinking about chopping in after only two years if I can find a suitable processor with HDMI switching and pre-outs.

That is irritating!Oh, to contribute - ours is a mix of black and silver!

The Mac Mini has been replaced with an Apple TV running XBMC and Boxee.
Nothing particularly special, but I'm no audiophile so I'd not appreciate where the extra money went.

I think my Dad has the same ones - you didn't also buy them from that bloke's shop in Maida Vale did you?Do they make an AV amp? Now that HDMI has become standard, I don't see the point in having a huge cocking receiver that's 6" tall so it has room for millions of RCA cables on the back - just give me somewhere to plug in the speakers, some HDMI in and a couple of HDMI outs, and maybe some opticals, and make the unit as low-profile as a DVD player or cable box.

For people who have silver seperates, do the silvers match? I always assumed they would all be slightly different, like silver cars, whereas black would be moe likely to match.
I've had plenty of non-matching black separates over the years; some matt, some shiny, some brushed, some smooth. The only way you can really guarantee they'll look the same is if they're from the same manufacturer in the same range. Even my Sony QS Minidisc deck didn't quite match a slightly older tape deck...Same's obviously true of silver. And how many different finishes do Cyrus do their kit in, all black/grey/silver? Absolutely loads, which if you're buying second hand would be a right pain.
