Hi,
both those amp schematics are based on inverting topology.
Zin for inverting is the series resistor/s feeding the inverting input pin.
For one amp this is 1k+9k=10k
For three in parallel this is 10k//10k/10k=3k3.
The DC blocking cap (4u7F) sees a load of 47k//3k3=3k1.
The F-1dB of that filter is ~22Hz.
The inverting topology has killed the bass response.
4u7F should be increased to around 56uF for extended bass response.

But, can the pre-amp or source feed a Zin=3k1 load impedance?

My answer is neither.
 
Carl, have you studied the AN-1192 and also understood it? Personally I have used a buffer in front of these LM3886 and you have both space and the supply voltage which makes it easy for you.

I would also make a complete bridge connected circuit on the same pcb. It's a clear advantage to minimize the wiring, both when it comes to making errors in building and also picking up noise, RFI etc.
