Any chance of a simple remote control for volume? Ideally RF for closed cabinets, or WiFi for control via smartphone. I just ordered LFR's with the integrated DSP/amp/preamp and the lack of remote volume control was my only hesitation since not all inputs can be volume controlled at the source, notably Apple TV.

Will upcoming options, such as the wireless platform, be factory-installable later on existing units? If not, perhaps a small additional unit to add this capability to existing installations?

Since I called the original wood concept pics "too home-made looking", I'll say that I'm liking the new wood panels pics much more now. They are now look like a polished product.

The latest pics also answer my question/concern about how the controls would be mounted -- having the mounting plate on the front is nice.

The integrated amp sounds like a nice package. Since someone is bound to ask "sure, but where am I going to get a wood-fronted tuner ?" I'll just get that out of the way right now.

That said, I imagine I'm pretty much the only one here who still has data limits that preclude internet radio, so DACs (covering computer-stored audio *and* internet radio) would probably get used a lot more than a tuner these days.

LOL - that was my first thought too... albeit about tube pre-amps not amps.

Speaking of tubes... presumably someone will start coding "tube sound" algorithms for DSPs, so all you would need to get into tube rolling would be an internet connection...

Volume and on/off remote would be a deal breaker for me too. All my equip is in a different room.

My problem too. All of my equipment is temporarily being stored at Charles' house.

Can't you just IM him when you want to adjust the volume ?

Sometimes he's eating crunchy stuff and doesn't hear the IMs!

We plan on having a Master Volume control remote available if you choose the AxiomPlay wireless option. It would work through our WebUI so it would be WiFi based and controlled from your phone, tablet, or computer. Likely we will make it a separate page that you open from our main WebUI as it would only be used if you had AxiomPlay in your pre-amp as opposed to the speakers themselves.

Ian, have you considered using dedicated apps instead of a web interface? That usually creates a far better user experience. iOS and Android apps would cover the vast majority of smartphones.

Also, do you know yet if AxiomPlay will be retrofittable to existing units?

Would this have an IR receiver on the front, so that traditional all-in-one programmable remotes would work with it also?
