Hi DB,
Have a Marantz 2270 in a Black, professional paintet Woodcase.
Perhaps, Marantz have decided to sale some of the new "Blacky's" ?
I dont know, but the Case is perfect. Ok, not for me. I love the Woodcase more.
Since, Your 2245 is enclosed in Black Vynil, its a Piece of Cake to make
some Newer Application to it, You like more.
Nice Greeting from Zürich,
Darko
