For anyone who, like me, uses their AVR volume knob over a large range of settings, I encourage them to try it out in person, via remote control, before they buy. The Marantz I bought recently (over $1000 USD) is rather awkward in how the volume up and down ramp speed varies depending on your start location, the time you depress the up/down button, and also differs depending on whether you are raising or lowering the volume.[ My previous Yamaha unit didn't have this issue at all. ] I would assume it is the same on all current Denon units as well, in fact it may be a problem with almost everything on the market, for all I know.
