Most passives do vary OI, you're right, with 10K being the top end. Into 180K, I think that'd still be fine.
I have tried a PLS on my system with the previous amps, which have only half the input impedance, and are less sensitive, and it seemed very good to me, including the dynamics.
Active preamps just seem like so much overkill when you've got a strong source and good impedance on both ends.
