If it has to be big... RF remote!
The Bel Canto amps are based off of the ICEPower amplifiers made by Bang & Olufsen. Bel Canto doesn't sell a multi-channel amp and that's one reason why they're so small. Personally, I think they're over priced. You can get nearly the same thing, but in multi-channel versions from Wyred4Sound and D-Sonic. They're not as pretty as Bel Canto's, but they do have mutil-channel amps.

I'd like to see outlaw update their look, but I think Gonk is right when he said it's unlikely to change much because it blends well with their current lineup. A lower profile unit would be a plus.
