Passive pre-amp/Quicksilver Mini Monos


"If" you were going to match Quicksilver Mini Mom\nos with a passive pre-amp, what would you do?
I have Audio Physic Sitara speakers, Oppo 205, and a Denafrips Ares.

This is a bedroom system-lots of "soft stuff" in a 12' x 12' room.

Another way to approach this question-does a Passive pre-amp have enough gain to mate with the mini-monos?
Thanks in advance!

It just lacked dynamics and sounded anemic compared .. but ymmv....

If you can demo a really good passive without a restocking fee.  try it.
I have tried my DAC directly connected to my Mid Monos and did not care for it at all .    Put my preamp back in immediately......
I have a NAD M51 which has an excellent digital volume but liked it much better connected as a source to my conrad johnson Classic 2SE.  A lot has to do with synergy and impedance matching in my opinion.
