I am very interested in one of the element streamers MA's has but, because my entire system is black, i want a black faced unit. Reading some of the threads here, i see i am not alone in my desires. I thought of either taking the cover off, getting it anodized or simply just paint it black. Its aluminum so shouldn't be too difficult. I inquired to MA and one of their US distributors regarding 1) any possibility of black versions in the near future or if the case was able to accommodate being disassembled easily to be painted. The answer i got back was 1) no plans and 2) painting will void the warranty.
Just thought i would let you know in case you were considering buying their product and just maybe with enough feedback here (assuming they visit ASR) they would be open to changing their position regarding voiding the warranty. I can understand their position. I take the unit apart to paint and i damage something and make a warranty claim. There needs to be an amicable solution.
Sadly, it appears I will end up buying from one of their competitors.
