Many mid to high-end (and this is what we're talking about here, not low-end or budget) amps go into AV racks, typically situated at the bottom, possibly even hidden out of sight. Even on a £1400 TX-NR905 the fluourescent display is of a much lower resolution than that on an SB3/Classic, it's only slightly better in fact than the original Slimp3! :eek: :) The remote control that came with the Onkyo amp was one of the poorest quality remotes I have ever used, suggesting Onkyo don't want to invest too much in remotes if at all possible, as they knowe that most owners will replace the remote with a higher-end alternative anyway (I replaced mine with a Harmony One and very good it is too). Since the Controller isn't cheap, it might be better for amp manufacturers to make the the Controller an optional extra, including only the regular cheap-o remote as standard allowing the user to buy a Controller (assuming they even need one) if they want to use the built-in Receiver. After all, the Receiver h/w probably has the lowest cost of the entire Duet solution. I'd still like to see a combined Controller+Harmony One though! :) -- Milhouse ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Milhouse's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=928 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50760
