You might want to call Guy Hammel of Placette and tell him what you are thinking of using it with. If memory serves correctly, when I spoke with Guy a while ago he said the amp should ideally have a sensitivity of 1.0 volt or better for full output. The original Stereo 70 is not this sensitive (1.3 volts). I don't know what the sensitivity is for the Latino amp. If I am remembering this incorrectly I apologize in advance, but I'd verify the input sensitivity of the Latino amp and then talk with Guy before making a decision, or vice versa.

I also want to use the passive for my solid state amp as well. Right now I am using a cobbled 10k passive attenuator with no trouble on my NAD C275BEE and as a source volume control on my Sherwood.
I should add that I REALLY want IR volume control. Being my source is a streaming player. And each channel has VERY different volume settings.
I don't know, I kinda need the Placette and I really don't need the ST-70. Just looking for toys to buy with my Christmas money ($2000)?
The Placette passive is supposed to be excellent. I almost bought one, once. I'd definitely talk with Guy first, though, and tell him what you might use it with - maybe there's more to it than just the level.
