^^^ absolutely correct, which is why a line driver will make some systems sound much worse.

I believe you would benefit very little from buying a line driver.

What is your goal with a line driver? Increased power?

The ONLY reason I would consider a line driver is if you have some nagging noise issue that you just can't seem to get a handle on.

It doesn't sound like that is your reason. It sounds like the reason is "because my amplifier says I can." :-)

Save your money man. I almost gaurantee it would be better spent somewhere else in your system.

That said, I've never used that particular series of MTX amplifiers, so if there's some problem with them (yes, problem) that requires a line driver to make them sound their best, by all means, experiment away.

Line driverss are a waste of money for anyone that has a HU preout of 1.5v or higher IMO.

David Navone will even tell you this. Line drivers are a marketing ploy just like capacitors. Even the line driver manufacturers will tell you -

If you have no noise, and can make full power out of your amps with your current voltage, then the line driver is worthless to you.
