I’ve been there and done that and didn’t like it. Tried 2 passives and found exactly that, lacked bass drive lacked dynamics just more boring sounding. And I didn’t receive any transparency games either.Although I do have one EL 84 amplifier with extremely high gain that a passive seems to work well with. But that’s not in the most transparent system anyway so it’s hard to tell if the passive is actually better or not.But definitely have at it and give it a shot for yourself.
