Not in my system. I use a Lightspeed attenuator and Slagle autoformer volume control that I built. No lack of dynamics from wither, nor do I sense any lower-mids lacking. I have/had active preamps too. While I admit impedance mismatches can certainly derail the performance of a passive, with the exception of active buffers that I have, I haven't heard an active preamp that didn't flavor the sound somewhat. While the flavoring could certainly be appealing to the listener, it's my opinion that it is not true to the source, and that is what I'm after and my preference.
