AVR's without PRE-OUTS

[HAMP]

Why isn’t there pre-out on all AVR’s? It seems that the AVR’s with somewhat high output with watts have pre-outs for an AMP connection, but many AVR’s with low watt’s that can really benefit from the amp that do not have pre-outs.

It seems like a person has wasted money when they bought a AVR with high out-put as a feature and then adds a AMP, They are no longer using that part of the AVR and it’s a lost. It would be a gain with a low power AVR then add an amp.

To me it would seem a AVR with low watts can really pair up with an amp and make a nice combination.

I understand that a AVR will not put out what a AMP really can do, but it still seems like a waste for whatever power it will not be using any longer compared to a AVR that didn’t have a great deal of watts in the first place.

Small example, I have a Denon AVR-789 and it sounds fantastic and it would be a terrific combination to add more power from a AMP, but it does not have any pre-out.

If someone was to have a Denon AVR-4310 and it has some nice power already and I’m sure that was part of the selling feature. Why would someone really want to add to that device something it already has?

In my set-ups, I sometimes want more output from my Denon 789, but no pre-outs for it. Then I have my Onkyo 805 and I really dare not turn that up and it has pre-outs for an AMP.

The amp I wouldn’t mind adding to my set-up claim to have less power then my AVR. I would not be getting a AMP just for power, but for the clarity I have read about with having separates.
