You must be going back a long while.
Because the 'receiver' which is typically an amplifier, tuner, & pre-amplifier all in one has been around for a long time.

I said back in the day //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I'm talking the 70's.

Interesting... I was thinking more along the lines of the 50's. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Stop giving him a hard time, you know he is partially right //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
Yes, separates were still fairly popular in the 70s and even 80s in the mainstream. But for the most part, receivers started to become the norm...

a crossover crosses things and a pre- amp goes before the amp.

common sense

Sweet....

But, an active crossover & EQ would go pre the amplifier too. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
