I'm now back to considering a passive LC again. My Shanling CDP has an extremely low output imp. of 300ohm, while the Carissa amp I'll be using has a huge value of 180K.
This would seem to be a match made in passive LC heaven, but for the caveat that I'm bi-amping with a bass amp for the 2nd voicecoils of my Gallo Ref 3's woofers.
Furthermore, the input impedance of the amp I'm currently using for this stinks: 20K ohms.
I'd go with Gallo's own SA bass amp if it had a much higher input impedance, but they don't seem to publish it and I can't find it. Anybody happen to know?
Does anybody think this is even worth trying with a 20K ohm impedance on one of the amps? I think this will put a heavy burden on the source and I'll lose dynamics.
By the way, sorry for all the questions lately. System changing, you know. Lots of thinking.
