Yeah Dave, I wouldnt worry about blasting the speakers, I think the Transporter run without pre has gotta sound better. I did a thread earlier about whether the Transporter was truly active and how much voltage it put out, impedance, etc. because I really wanted to make sure Transporter was optimized to run direct to power amps. Afterall, that was one of the reasons (and rationalizations?) for buying it. I could avoid buying a preamp! In fact, as a result of the discussion SD actually changed the impedance in the Transporter in the 11th hour. After all that, I concluded that the Transporter should be about a PERFECT match driving most power amps.
