Preamp suggestions

Just a clear up here. Your speakers are the Snell E series 2, not Klipsch Cornwalls, as mistaken by George ( which is surprising, as George is rarely wrong on these pages ). Easily, a 9 db difference in efficiency, so passive is a bit more questionable, depending on the voltage output of the source ( s ).

Why is the Schiit Freya + being left off the list?

That is correct mrdecibel, I am running the Snell E series 2 speakers. 

Mrdon- Freya is above his pricepoint.  

Re the Parasound-  Decent unit, but no remote and the volume steps are as large as 6db at the low end.  For $170 it is hard to go wrong with it.  Here is a review of it from new.   https://www.stereophile.com/content/parasound-pfet-900-preamplifier

Personally, I would get the Saga combo.  Warranty, US made, more flexibility in the phono setup and a better phono preamp with the Mani, and a Remote is nice to have.   The Tung Sol tube is supposed to be a bit better than the Russian.  If your budget is holding you back, I can give you an inexpensive Audio Technic phono stage to use until you can purchase a better one.  

Why is the Schiit Freya + being left off the list?

Cost and the tube gain stage is 4 x on the Freya, and unity on the Saga, and if he did have the Klipsch the unity would be better, but now with the Snell's the Freya would be better.
