Salagar Speakers

Anyone have recommendations on balanced pre-amps that work well with these active speakers? Anyone bypass the pre-amp directly?

Both sounded terrific - the Salagar is a beautifully designed, very musical speaker. I can't say I prefer one over the other, except thru the preamp of course, allows me to listen to my vinyl as well.

It's worked great in my store as well. Also, if I may continue to srill a bit, (and I do this about once every 3 years) Jeff Rowland's $2700 Capri preamp with xlr outputs is an awesome matchup and a really great preamp, notably better than previous $3900 JR Concerto preamp.
