Does anybody make...

"If you can live with a balance control instead of separate left and right volume pots, most McIntosh preamps will fit the bill."

McIntosh does sell the Mi128, which does have volume for each channel, this too, I have considered.

Thx

You can get a multi-speaker switcher with volume controls for each channel

I don't have a preamp and I'm quite happy with the level of control I have at hand.

Eq and balance, DSP as desired (or not).....a 2496, or not...🤷‍♂️

Distrib amps can be as simple or as complex as one could ask for of late, wallet thickness being ones' guide or limit.

I've 6 amps in a 50ish lb. lump.  2chan each, buss or stand-alone input, bal & vol each, delay each, and any can be mono'd for sub or just the bang of it.

Each amp can drive up to 4 drivers, if you don't ask the impossible from it.

No, it's not likely you'll discern the sweat on the palms of the 1st violinist in the midst of that solo...but I don't kid myself into thinking I can hear such....

But, it pleases me in the OTW I'm up to, and it didn't require a 2nd mortgage that I couldn't do anyway....

(No, I've not tried 24 drivers.  I've enough cables already just for the nonsense I'm doing anyway...and suspending that many cables off the floor would look like a WW2 tank trap to maneuver around....I'm not insane, just....'odd'....*L* ;)...)

...a physical therapist once called me 'Gumby'.....little did she know.....*L*

@asvjerry  I'm not insane, just....'odd'....*L* ;)...)

No, just someone with character, LOL... I suspect your setup/suggestion is a bit above me, thx.

@rbstehno thx, that's new to me, I will look into it...

Marchand Electronics, I wish I new about them sooner, they would have saved me a huge headache getting a power supply made for the field coils. But I will look into it for the preamp...

Received an email from McIntosh,.. their C2700 does not have adjustable gain, bummer. But I do want a tube preamp...
