Who has gone fully active? What speakers and preamp did you end up with?


Open question for A'goners who have traded in their floor heaters for fully active speakers.  What did you end up with?

PS - This is not a thread to help me buy, more of an open discussion on a narrow theme.  Thanks!

Thanks!

@erik_squires You need at least a 10-1 ratio between the amp and preamp in normal situations

 

@willywonka - I am familiar with the rule of thumb. I just don’t know how many preamps have an output impedance higher than 1k Ohm. And it is actually just a rule of thumb. 

@daniel25  - Interesting that ATC lists the input impedance at > 10kOhms.  That does seem relatively low.  I'm used to seeing 25k or higher but hopefully it doesn't affect too many tube pres.
