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!

I own Heresy IIIs and drive 'em with an original version Freya into a Dennis Had single ended 12wpc masterpiece. That's right, masterpiece. Note that extremely efficient Fortes can be driven by anything, but sticking to lower wattage amps can save you some bucks and allow you to turn it up beyond 2. I'm thinking of adding a Pass XA25 to the mix eventually just out of curiosity (there goes my "beyond 2" theory), and will keep the Had amp to swap back and forth as hey, isn't that what serious tone freaks do? Luckily for new purchasers, the new "Freya +" amazingly seems to have more features and addresses some consumer issues for 100 bucks more. Based on my experience with the mighty 12 watts per side Had amp, one Aegir should be plenty. Note that a properly designed tube amp doesn't "color" anything, they're simply more accurate (read "atmasphere's" comments about why this is.). Ever notice how SS amps frequently claim to be "tube like" and "class A sounding?"
wolf, say what you want ( as you always do ), but descriptions on various threads, including musicians threads, speak of " color ", warmth ", and " roundness " of tubes, especially bass players and drummers, where quickness, tightness and control are all important, and ss is preferred. As I said, " if that is what you like ". BTW, The Freya + is $899., $200 more than the original, not $100. Sorry to have offended you, again. YMMV. Enjoy ! MrD.
Given eag618's response to MrD's question, with Klipsch in a small room I would think tube amplification to be ideal. With a budget of $2000 maybe a used PrimaLuna? 
Hey mrdecibel...it's 100 bucks more, plus another 100 bucks, so there is 100 bucks in there, albeit twice.  Also, bass players and drummers prefer SS? Huh? You don't usually render a clunky comment like that one so I can only assume your proof reader went home...Bass players generally don't want to schlep Ampeg SVTs around (although many do) so SS is often preferred and SS bass amps (like the three I own) seem to sound fine. However, tube guitar amps actually are quick, tight, and controlled as myself and many other musicians I've known know. WE know, ya know? Roundness, warmth, and color, are supposed to be a part of music reproduction regardless of what amp you prefer, so I'll continue to be testy and defensive when perceiving tube aspersions have been cast. That said, I do understand that many prefer square, cold, and colorless amps...
Mesch,

I wasn't going to say this, as he terrifyingly squeaks it out.... but I just sold a Primaluna Dialogue HP Integrated with an array of 12au7's kt88's el34's and kt150,s.
I liked my Marantz 2238B better! Call me stupid, but don't tell kevin!LMAO

So I am on the search for SS and Tube pre.......and I feel that Schiit has the best value so far.
