Interesting. Thanks all. My pre/pro goes from -50db to +15db (or was it +20?). It really doesn't make sense to me to have a stage to attenuate the signal before amplification - unless I start thinking about what it would take to build a system that had no attenuation from source to speaker. Definitely not practical
I suppose in theory you'd want to build out a system where, if you took the quietest source you listen to at the maximum level you want to listen at, the amp and preamp are maxed without distortion. All other source levels and volumes would be handles by volume attenuation?
Definitely seems impractical - so I guess a big amp section and large attenuation for volume control makes sense to be able to use the equipment in a wide range of configurations and sources.
