I found a good deal on a pair of KRK Rockit 8's which are active. My current Tannoy Reveals are not powered and I'm using a Cambridge amp to power them. Just wondering what you guys are using as a pre-amp for powered speakers these days? I have a pretty basic set-up. Four sources feed the Cambridge, which has a pre-amp section. I have a Mackie mixer, but I'd rather use something simpler, like a passive or minimal component pre-amp with a big knob.
I'm keeping both systems, because I still like the Tannoys. After getting both set-up I'll decide which will be the main near field monitors.
