That would be an interesting set of features. I think functionally, it bridges the gap between about three components that I have not seen rolled into one chassis before: An EQ, a purist-oriented audio preamp, and a pre-pro/video switching device.

It seems the Brits are keyed into the integrated market a bit more than Americans are. I believe Cambridge Audio, Exposure and Naim make quality integrateds, but they tend to be in the range of 50-60WPC, as the Brits are also more on board with high efficiency speakers.

With regard to the stereo/mono and left/right switches, they are something I just don't see anymore. My Conrad Johnson PV-8 had both of those swtiches, and even as far back as the 80s, they sort of stood out in terms of including the left/right function.

Lastly, the on-board EQ is going to be the sticky wicket. Nearly all of the audio enthusiast-oriented preamps eschew EQs and try to keep the signal path as unadulterated as possible. Depending upon the scope of the equalizer, that could really jack the price up (I'm thinking EQ done right, such as Meridian or Cello Audio Palette).

Anyway, I think the product you envision would be very cool, but I wonder if it would be priced outside the realm of your average Outlaw customer???
