...seems to me finacio-emotional not technical. The Macondo and 9 channel Melquiades are really one device, essentially an active speaker. If a maker did not feel obliged to put the amp and the speaker in different boxes he would obviously optimise the amplification of each channel as you have done.
But by halving the number of functionally discrete boxes one halves the potential for price mark up, so even if the whole point of playback is to ensure a seamless unity that can only be achieved by conceiving the entire system as one, no-one is going to do it. The market stimulus is for fractionation, not unity. Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
