In Reply to: Not all passives are created equally..But skip to last paragraph for my main point posted by Robert C. Lang on January 8, 2009 at 16:53:30:
Gosh, this thread really makes sense.
It doesn't make any sense at all. Whenever someone suggested something the originator came up with another equally suspect alteration of the scenario. First the speakers were always too loud. Then they sounded thin, not always too loud. Then he already had tried a passive when someone first suggested that.
>he suggested that Brian explore a passive line stage *or* (that you conveniently glossed over) a lower gain line stage.
BTW, this "glossing over" is not relevant. A lower gain preamp would still have more gain than a passive. It's moot.
Now, you still have time to get back to helping solve the unsolvable problem - cos it's a moving target - and please ignore that a passive pre and 25 tube watts and even 95 db speakers do not always sound too loud...it's nutty.
