Passive pre with Bryston 7B ST??

I am wondering whether the Bryston monoblocks are suitable for passive attenuators/pre while the Bryston preamps (are said) to be the weak link of this pre/power combo. As the Brystons are pretty well known I'd gues that someone would have tried it with a passive pre (FT Audio LW1 for example)

The Brystons have a high sensitivity (0,8 volt) and a high input impendance. My cd-player (Musical Fidelity Nuvista 3D) has a low impendance 2 volt output according to the red book standard.

Any comments?

...that's how it's suppose to work. Having sencitivity of .8V and the source output of 2V you won't need any extra gain.
Try it with Creek OBH14 and it'll smoke Bryston BP25 in your case.
