The office was closed today because of the midwest blizzard which gave me some time to play. I decided to haul up a couple of Polk LSi 9's from the basement HT to see how the Touch would work as a preamp directly into an Emotiva XPA-2. It worked very well. The Polks are rated at 88db sensitivity and a volume of 65 or so was a comfortable listening level with most material. The Magnepan's I have on order are a few db less sensitive. If I decide the preamp I've ordered doesn't improve on the Touch I'd probably put in some in-line attenuator's to keep the touch volume control in the 85-90 range.
Anyway, the Touch does work just fine as a preamp. -- mraub1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mraub1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43441 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85096 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
