Kinki Studio EX-M1 200wpc Integrated Amplifier

It’s a shame the EX-M1 doesn’t have a preamp outputs. I’m all for simplicity, but it seems they’re excluding a sizable portion of potential integrated customers by not doing so. I wonder if it could be modified by a tech to install preamp outs?

@pts  Let Alvin know via a detailed email...can't hurt? : )  

They have the EX-P7...so what you are asking for is a logical extension of their product lineup.

I dropped Alvin a line; he said for an extra $150 they can change a pair of stereo inputs to pre-outs. That’s great news!

it might would make more sense to have a preamp input as my mastersound has so you can upgrade the pre section.

I don’t want to run only main speakers, but also some active subwoofers. So I need RCA pre-outputs.

Inputs bypassing the preamp (effectively turning the EX-M1 into a power amp) aren’t a bad idea; I’m sure Alvin could do. It defeats the point of buying an integrated though. Do you not think the pre section of the EX-M1 to be high-end? The reviews so far suggest that every component used is top quality.
