I purchased a Sire V7 six months ago. Very good bass btw. Yes they could have done a better job with the knobs. I'm retired so I made a career out of finding nicer metal knobs. They don't exist! Tried many different ones and just wasted time and money. The shafts on the Sire pots are split shafts. All of the metal knobs, particularly the stacked knobs, are of the set screw variety. The stock knobs are splined and snugly fit over the split shafts. You can retro fit the metal stacked knobs with some doing but they will never fit the way they should over a solid shaft. You need to line the inside of the top knobs with something that will allow you to snugly fit the top knobs on the shafts but you will never be totally satisfied with the fit and function. Live with the stock knobs or replace the pots with solid shaft knob type.
