Thanks for the feedback. I was speaking specifically of preamp preouts for use of external amplifiers. Its my understanding that the higher the preamp output voltage -- it allows the preamp to take full advantage of all the power amplifier X is capable of providing. Under volting the amp/preamp relationship - as I understand it - puts a bottle neck on the amp.
Just clarifying the thing I am trying to wrap my head around. So, what I think you both are saying is that ... preout V .... won’t impact amp performance as much as I think it will if it has a low V output??
Maybe over thinking it, but I am trying to figure out where that sweet spot is - so I get the most out of amplifier X. At the same time - not obsess unnecessarily over the spec ( i.e., 2v vs 4v+ etc ) on the output stage.
Example: No sense in buying a multichannel 7x200 watt amplifier if my AVR or AV preamp won’t be able to output a signal strong enough to give me those 200w etc.
Or... are you both saying that the spec I am looking at has no bearing on the output relationship of amplifier X?
Thanks.
