Why does Amps/Preamps forum have most threads?

Does this mean people covet Amps more than any other audio component?

No, it simply means that people talk about amps/preamps more than any other topic. Hey, one forum has to have the most action, why not amps/preamps? Personally, I find the preamp is the heart of the system, and the most difficult part of the system to get right.

Becoz they're most popular music components

Because a preamp is the most important component.

And also because they are swapped in and out of systems more frequently. Most folks will keep their speakers for 5 years or more. It is much easier to buy and install amps/preamps than it is speakers...
