The 491 handles streaming, conversion, phono and volume up front, while the two 461s deliver the power behind it. Bought separately, two 461s and one 491 together cost CHF 15,140; as a pack you get all three for CHF 14,480 – a saving of CHF 660.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is this pack for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for anyone who wants to drive large or demanding speakers with maximum control and build a genuine high-end pre-\/power-amp chain with modern streaming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStraight talk: for small speakers in a side room this is overkill – a single 461 (set with the 491) or a compact device is enough there.

This brings more control, better channel separation and headroom for demanding speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference to the Power Pack 461?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Power Pack 461 contains only the two power amplifiers – without a preamp. The Streaming Pack 2 adds the 491 streaming preamplifier and is therefore a complete chain.
