The remote is the worst thing about my E30, it doesn't drive me up the wall, but I do have to be in the right position to use it, it's not like I can just sit on my couch and casually point it at the device. That's the only problem with the E30 in my experience, it's a good product, and the ability to use it as a preamp is crucial.The video, a rant really, was weird but possible usability issues with the overly directional remote, buttons usage, random power on when in standby, are good points.
Labelling amirm as a "bad faith actor" is way over the top, though:
