Out of curiousity, I have a Schiit Jot running XLR pre out to a JBL LSR310S then to JBL 305P MKII - should I run low gain when in this config with the active monitors?

Yes you should be running low gain. Low gain will take whatever you are giving the Jot (2volts RMS from the internal dac/4volts RMS usually from a external dac) and double that for the maximum voltage on the pre. If you apply a higher gain setting it'll give you less room on the volume knob and possibly more noise due to gain. If you ever find yourself turning the knob all the way then maybe the next gain setting would be of use, otherwise just stick with low. (2v x2 from internal (4V) would be the usual maximum on an XLR pre and I have no reason to believe the JBLs would ever need more).

I'm running a SB Zxr out to a Kenwood KA-7300 then to KEF Q350s. Love the dual mono of the 7300 and the KEFs are just ridiculously good for the $. (Present from dad for birthday last year)

I run a set of modified JBL LSR305's along with a modified Tannoy TS10's driven off a modified Asus Strix Raid DLX.
