Is there any reasonably-to-premium-priced AVR that boasts a somewhat heavy, aluminum volume knob...or are they ALL plastic?
I have noticed, when browsing in some stores that still actually carry physical HT hardware such as speakers and receivers, that the Denons, Onkyos and even Marantzes of the world are coming equipped with cheap-feeling plastic volume knobs on them (I may be wrong about the Marantz models). My Onkyo 605 is equipped with a limp-feeling plastic rotation knob for the volume, and this is something that always bothered me about the unit because, in my opinion, it doesn't reflect the muscular sound/power coming from this amp, especially considering the class it was in... I know that, back in the 605's era, you could move up to the 7 and 8 series to get the metal-esque knobs with the cool blue ring around them, but is there any AVR currently out there with more "exotic" volume controllers, not made of plastic? Seems like even in these brands' higher-end lines the knobs are still plastic, and I think even esoteric brands like Anthem and Arcam build their receivers with plastic knobs; is there any brand/model that offers a more premium build on the front? My Onkyo 8555 stereo receiver, doing duty in my separate two-channel system, boasts a smooth, unbelievably heavy (rotation feel), robust metal volume knob that's a pleasure to work with; are there any AVRs with the same anymore? It's a miracle we're actually still getting brushed aluminum faceplates on these things, but I digress... |
