    Default Black or silver RX65 enclosure

    Please excuse me if I haven't searched hard enought but I have a quick question.

    Do I have a choice between a silver or black RX65 when ordering from Roy? I'd prefer to have the black but the only site I see the black one on is RdiaoScahk.com

    Thanks,
    -Mase

    Unfortunately, there never has been a black RX65. The RX55 is in a black casing, but the 65 is all silver. Personally, I would have rather had the black, but oh well.

    Is this pic just a clever play in contrast then?

    It is a darker silver in real life than it looks in some pictures - (the one you linked excluded, that looked kinda accurate on my monitor). Bel calls it a 'titanium finish' on the RX65's packaging. I quite like it. IMHO the RX55 looks a little 'cheap' in comparison, and I guess that's the look Bel were going for; the '65 has to look like a step up in quality from the '55.

    Also the 'RX65' printed on top of the unit seems to be in black text on actual production units, rather than blue -- although I'm happy to be put straight on this if someone has one with blue text.

    The RX-65 did have blue printing at one time, but they switched to black printing on later models.
