I am new to this audiophile game (although I have collected music for 40 years), but in the past 6 months, I found a Marantz 2238B in very nice condition and I am totally hooked on vintage Marantz receivers. I currently have the Marantz running through large Advent (original) Loudspeakers that were resored by Bill Legall at Millersound. These are my main (front) speakers, and I am using Klipsch RF-3 iis as my side speakers. This combination sounds way better than anything I have ever had before. When I first got the Marantz, I was using ADS L990 speakers. Those sounded good, but both the Klipsch speakers and the restored Advents blow it away and have relegated the ADS speakers to the bench.
I need opinions, Schhit Freya+ and an appropriate Amp
I have read good things about Schiit’s Freya Pre amp. I am building a "not to expensive" 2 channel system. Have already purchased speakers, Klipsch Forte III’s..... love em!I am considering Shiits "Class A Like" Aegir amp, either one at 20 watts per or 2 at 80 watts per.....in monoblock.
The other thing I am considering is going with tubes and looking at a Rogue 90 or a Rogue Atlas Magnum amp.
Does anybody have opinions based in fact or experience but I am no looking to purchase anything ridiculously expensive or in need of a complete overhaul. And interestingly I came across a pair of Rogue Monoblock 120’s which looked interesting!
So let loose and advise...lastly, I have not heard anything yet and am currently driving my Klipsch with a 45 year old Marantz 1038B and it sounds fabulous......call me a plebian!
