Brand Synergy

I think glupson hit the nail on the head!

If you have separate amp and preamp the same brand can provide synergy from one remote...other wise I believe beauty is in the ear of the listen who paid for the equipment.

Synergy is Sugden class A driving Tannoys...ahhh so nice....

Losing a preamp entirely works for me, only amp driving what becomes the major issues.
Unless one would prefer to consider ones' computer standing in as pre...

PRAT....pratfall...*ah*G*

Back in the day, Linn was all about synergy between their products.  If I remember correctly their products did work better together as they were designed that way.  Not sure is any other manufacturers designed their components that way.  Today, I doubt that you need to keep with one brand to build your system.

Happy Listening.

If Brand Synergy is being about to use one remote then just buy a universal remote?
