As the OP of this thread (name change is a long story) I did indeed go to a shindo set-up many years ago and don't really miss having one. At the moment, hobbled by a foot operation, it would be nice but it is not that bad.
Life without a remote
I am considering a pre-amp that has no remote. As I sit here listening to music, I have adjusted the volume multiple times in just the last few minutes. I adjust so I can pretend I'm listening to my wife when she tries to talk to me. I adjust for different songs. I adjust in the middle of a song. I tweak to get just the right level from my listening spot.
So for those of you that don't have a remote or don't use one - how do you do it? Is there an adjustment period? Is listening more enjoyable because you can't easily play with the volume?
