Most powered speakers have a volume control - this acts as a preamp. The concern is going directly into a power amp then into unpowered speakers. Then, you should use a preamp or (ideally) fixed attenuators. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34687 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
