Once, I did have a set of amps that matched the pre-amp. The same manufacturer but different generations. The only thing that matched was the name plate. My entire system does not even match color. Some is black and the rest is brushed aluminum.
Do I have to brand match preamp and amp?
I recently got an Ayre v-5xe Amp for my two channel setup (with Revel f208 speakers and PS Audio Directstream DAC). At a good price locally.
I looked at the matching K-5xe MP matching preamp, but it’s too expensive brand new and nothing available used.
Do I have to get a matching brand preamp? Or something different would do. My budget for the Preamp is around two grand.
thanks!
