I'm looking at some amplification for the Magnepan 3.6Rs, and noticed something odd in pricing out some packages.
The [pre + power amp] combo is a lot more expensive than the integrated amp that carries the same power amp ratings.
Do the integrateds carry the same pre-amp package as the stand-alone pre-amps?
Examples:
NAD c165 pre-amp $1000 plus c275 power amp $1300 is $2300 total.
NAD c375 integrated amp has same power specs as c275, but costs $1500.
W4S STP-SE pre-amp $2000 plus ST-500 power amp $1500 is $3500 total.
W4S STI-500 integrated amp has same power specs as ST-500, but costs $2000.
Based on pictures, the integrateds seem to have the same "facial" appearance as the pre-amps.
Are the pre-amps the same in the standalone and the integrateds, or are they seriously shortcutting the pre-amp that goes into the integrated? Does anyone have insight into this? Thanks very much.
