??? Anyone Running Active Speakers Driven By A Tube PreAmp ???


Since active speakers either use Class A/B or Class D amplifiers, i’m curious if driving active speakers with a tube preamp brings the positive benifits of tubes to them,especially in added natural warmth,better staging & imaging...Thanks much,take care...

Many speakers such as ML ESLs that have an active woofer can be driven by a tube amp since iit takes much less power to drive the mids and highs.

 

@mapman one reason would be because fully active speakers take either a preamp signal or a digital signal.  You don't need an amp.  thus my clarifying questions.
