That's one of the biggest issues I have with monoblock amps - I want to have them right near my speakers (using only 1m or so of speaker cable). However, I want my source (CD, turntable, and pre-amp - especially if the pre-amp does not have a remote) right near my listening chair so I can change sources, volume, etc. without having to get up, walk across the room, and disturb my "state of mind."
What's a guy to do?
