[QUOTE="maylar, post: 8137049, member: 541144"] Nonsense. Output power is output power. This is a common Myth/Legend/Fallacy. The gain control on an amp doesn't affect distortion... it just adjusts the signal level. If set correctly the distortion won't be any different. As for noise, if you have noise on your input signals you're gonna hear it regardless of the gain setting. There are plenty of SQ systems out there with 2V preouts. This topic has been discussed MANY times here. The big difference is that 4V and 5V units tend to be higher in the product lineups and have other enhancements that actually do make a difference.
