Because different speakers have different sensitivity, and matching the volume after the power amp stage isn't desireable (doing anything to the signal after the power amp stage generally isn't desireable). So it follows that each set of speakers should have at least separate power amps.
Matching the volume before a single source gets "split" isn't desireable either, because then you'd have to re-trim the volume (automatically or manually) every time you switch between speaker sets. johann;630825 Wrote: > And why would that be less of a problem in a setup with 2 SBT with one > amp each? Because then you could match the volume simply by adjusting the volume knob on each of the two pre-amps (or passive attenuators), if you so desired. -- Soulkeeper -that is not dead which can eternal lie. and with strange aeons even death may die.- touch + duet + boom + radio / wrt160n/dd-wrt / sbs 7.5.1 or higher/win7(32b)/avira free ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Soulkeeper's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35297 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87592 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
