My guess is, it has something to do with being able to control eq, hpf, lpf.
Plus they probably assume the connect is connected to a receiver with preout. Pretty smart move if you ask me since now if you need their sub you have to use the connect:amp which is probably higher margin for them.
I disagree. While I do agree that the CONNECT:AMP may be higher margin, limiting it is a bad move. Not having it compatible across their own line handicaps you a bit. They still do not have multi-zone controller, so if you wanted to use a subwoofer in each zone, you would have to have multiple CONNECT:AMPs in a rack rather than stacking the much smaller CONNECT feeding a multi-channel amp. I just believe it would be smarter to have it be compatible with everything.
