Low input impedance is an advantage regarding noise, and a disadvantage regarding flexiblilty...
Amplifier Input Impedance
Why are so many high-power solid state amps designed with such low input impedances. Doesn't that really low input impedance limit the range of pre amps that can be used? Are there technical reasons why designers make these impedances so low? Why not design your muscle amp with a really high input impedance so it will potentially work well with all pre amps?
