I have LS50 Metas and just added a Freya + in front of my McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe. I think the Freya + is an exceptional preamp. It replaced an Adcom GFP-750 and an Acurus LS-11. Both were very good solid state preamps for the money. I disagree with the notion that LS-50s don’t pair with tubes. They do. If you’re really set against having tubes though, get the Freya S. It’s $600 bucks and you can return it if you don’t like it in your system. Happy shopping!
Schiit Aegir pre-amp recommendation
I have a newly acquired Aegir and currently matched to Kef Ls50s with a NAD 326BEE as the preamp.
Does anyone have any experience with a non-Schiit preamp that matches well with the Aegir?
My thoughts: I've had a lot amps in my day and I think the Aegir is pretty darn good for what it is especially if matched with a class A pre (like the 326bee). I like it's small form factor and for a small room with the KEF LS50s it is pretty satisfying. So I liked to match it with a high quality preamp with remote and phono pre. Hopefully it's small form also but this along with the phono pre are not deal breakers.
I was thinking LTA MZ2. I like it's small form and that it will bring in a little tube softness.
Any thoughts hopefully someone with experience
