Well, I think it may also depend somewhat on how this production line integrates with the rest of the product offerings. The news that the "package" will be an outboard amp and (in effect) a pair of MZeros rather than an integrated module gives me pause.
I guess I'd want to ask whether there is any intent to make either the amp or the MZeros available independent of each other.
If Axiom WANTS to sell pairs of MZeros independently, I'd also ask whether those would be available in other finishes. There might be people who - due to cost and/or form-factor - would like a pair of MZeros but already have amplification available (Zone2, Sonos systems, bedroom systems, rear channels of 7.1, etc.). If you make the MZero available ONLY in Silver in ALL cases, that may limit the audience for those other applications somewhat.
Again, I obviously would not know how Axiom plans to market/price the product in the context of available production capacity.
Options...
1. MZeros and Amp available only together. Black or Silver.
2. MZeros available independent of the amp, but no choices among the existing standard finishes. Black.
3. MZeros available either only with the amp OR independent of the amp, with choices of the existing standard finishes.
Obviously, I'd lobby for option 3, but recognize that it would probably cost "more" in production.
