Thanks all for the helpful information.
Since I'm looking in the used market, I'm trying to gather as much information as I can from sources other than Bobby himself. I realize he has a great reputation for helping folks even if they are not buying directly from him, but out of respect for his time, I thought I'd exhaust all other avenues of getting the info before contacting him.
I will contact him to ask about the passive v. active preamp issue to see what he recommends. Thanks Spencer for that observation.
I'm leaning toward the MM right now only because of budget constraints. However, I am trying to get a feel for how much difference there is between the MM and the MX.
I am hopeful and confident that even the MM will be a significant upgrade from my current speakers (Audes Blues).
Again, thanks.
