Is the internal amp of Purities drive the woofers when I use the level input with an external amp? (summits are working like that)

I believe the answer to Nikos's question is actually no. While it seems the signal does pass through the amp, what Nikos is really asking about is the "PoweredForce" type of deal, where the internal amp gives its power to the woofer in addition to the power that your external amp gives to the panel.
Presumably, if the answer was yes ML would advertise this feature on their website, or at least mention it in the manual, where instead they actually recommend using RCA inputs for the Purities.
Exactly!...but then you could have bought Sources and saved some $$...
The amp on your shelf doesn't provide the current for the speaker, just the signal. With the RCA input the internal amp acts as a normal amp; with the speaker-level inputs the internal amp takes the output signal from your amp and sends that to the speaker. It might be a zero gain amplifier but the power comes from the internal amp, not the one on your shelf. The physical load on your amp is about the same as what your amp's input circuit puts on your preamp, just the voltage is a lot different.wow...this is a great site with great people...
from the diagram it looks like the signal pass through the amp but the amp is not amplifying it. isn't it a bit of a hassle? the circuit wouldn't distort the signal even at minimum level of operation?
I was hoping that from the level inputs the internal amp will drive the woofers and the external amp will drive the panel.
