for films and music.

Hello, I'm thinking of changing my Harbeth speakers for Genelec 8351's for more dynamic sound and possible subwoofer and easy room optimization.
I would like to feed the Genelecs with all my sources, LP, analog, Roon and other digital sources.
The digital output of my Devialet 200, pre-amp output, could be (full-range ) via XLR AES\EBU to the Genelec.
So I would reuse the pre-amp side of the Devialet.

Do you think that setup is feasible ?
Do you think the volume could still be controlled by the beautiful Devialet control ?

Thanks,

The pre and power amp parts of the Devialet are not really separable. It is truly integrated.
The Genelecs will need controlling by a computer for their volume control and using their software for room compensation.
I am sure you can probably use several inputs somehow but it is a bit of a kludge.
Overall I don't want that personally. The Phantoms sound great to me but I rarely use them since they don't suit my "music listening style".
I love the Devialet amp I have and that is why I am sticking with passive speakers.

The Genelecs do not need a computer for controlling the volume. The GLM can be powered by any 5V USB power supply. You can find this information from the GLM 4 user manual (page 71).
