Thanks for the update on the monoblocks Charles. I know from talking with Steve and Michael, everyone there is very excited about them and the performance they will deliver.With regard to the preamp, the main feature I was hoping to see would be level matching between inputs. As you know (e.g., C-5xe playing SACD), there can be a wide variation between sources, and it would be nice if "33" on the preamp volume control would be able to provide roughly the same volume levels regardless of source.
Also, given the potential for more balanced sources, it would be nice to have at least four (4) balance inputs [I'm currently using the two (2) on the K-5xe (by way of the D-1xe and C-5xe), and would ultimately like to add a turntable or possibly use the pass-through you described (or even some other balanced source option which may appear during the next decade or two)].
Finally, an optional phono input (maintaining or exceeding the quality of the P-5xe, of course) would be a bonus, as it could eliminate a box and corresponding interconnects and power cord.
Last time I spoke with Michael and Steve, they still didn't know the final pricing or shipping schedule for the L-5xe or signature speaker cable -- any update? Thanks again. - Pete -
