So long as you can easily attain the listening level that you are seeking and it is clean, don't worry about where the volume control is set. If you had to turn an active preamp up to that level all the time, i might be slightly concerned. With a passive, it is not abnormal.
As to bi-amping with a passive, that could get REAL interesting in terms of impedances, drive levels, etc... Sean
