Active Kaber using 150s, vs a single 200?

Posted by: Mr_Sukebe on 23 September 2003

I'm presently using a Nait 5/hicap with my Kabers. I know it's underpowered, but frankly I don't play it that loud anyway and always seem to have sufficient headroom.

Going forward, I've heard a 200, which sounded pretty damn special to me.
Option B, would be to find some 150s and go active. I've dem'd the 150 against the 200, and will happily accept that the 200 easily outperforms the 150 in a direct comparison.
But what about going active, say using three 150s powering my kabers. I get the impression that going active brings some serious benefits.
Any thoughts?

I'm not sure if Naim will have the settings for Kabers for the SNAXO, does anyone know if this is the case?

The SNAXOs can be built apparently, or at least the olive ones could.

FWIW when I moved from 140 to 250 on my Kabers the improvement was astonishing. Makes me inclined to try even more grunt some time soon, rather than the complexity of going active.
