Volume knob feel

Hi,

I'm a current 1050 owner thinking of upgrading for the video switching capabilities. I have had problems with the volume control on my 1050 since the beginning.
I was curious to know how the volume knob feels on the 1070? Is it heavy and smooth or light feeling? One of the things that irks me about most mid range receivers is the big plastic hollow feeling knob.

Might seem like a trivial thing to most, but it matters to me.

Thanks for your input.

Andreas

It's light feeling, not like my Yamaha receiver that has a weighted feel. If it really matters to you that much, then you might have issues with the 1070. Granted it doesn't cause me problems controlling the volume.

I admit...
The 1070's volume knob is a bit light compared to my old yammy receiver...

but on the other hand ...
Sound on the Yamaha was a bit light compared to the 1070...

I have no problem whatsoever adjusting the volume...I hardly ever touch it anyway... laugh

Thanks for the responses, I will probably live with my 1050 a little longer and see what Outlaw pulls out of their sleeve this summer or fall.
