Two of my favourite forum dudes (apart from that Aussie duo in the cafe). Have fun. ---

I suppose given the balanced inputs on the New Classic 250 (and future amps) there’s nothing stopping you running a Linn source / Exaktbox with a brace of 250s for active operation ? ---

Just curious @Cymbiosis - have you been able to try the NC250 in active configuration? ---

Acoustica have. A search on Google will get an interesting review of NC250s driving Kudos 808. ---

Just read the review. Interesting, as you say. Money quote: > While I certainly won’t go as far as saying the new NAP250 outguns a Nap500, it is a deeply impressive amp and three of them active with Titan 808s does. Whether that was the intention of Kudos or just the fact that an active crossover doesn’t suck out a decent proportion of power from even very powerful amps, I don’t know. But I do know that if I owed 808’s I would absolutely have them active. ---
