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. 

3 systems all Linn speakers and amplifiers with min dsp, Emotiva, and Dennon pre amps all Dirac 

 

ATC SCM40A’s here with Naim NAC 332 pre and NSS333 streamer. Love the simplicity and the sound is top notch.
