BAT VK3ix an upgrade from Freya +?

The 3ix is a little long in the tooth and may not beat the Freya. I have seen some comparisons to some heavy hitters and it’s done very well. Don’t assume the BAT will be the winner. My guess is if your system is passive friendly, then that mode will slay the BAT.

Subjective by default so varying listener preference is never surprising. I still  believe that the BAT is built to a higher standard. But yes it does not guarantee it'd be  everyone's choice.

I believe that you'll be happy with the LM 805 SET amplifier.  48 watt pure class A circuit . Word of mouth says this is a very good sounding amplifier.

I had a Line Magnetic 518i and it was a fine amplifier.

Yes the BAT may be somewhat warmer than the Freya. Many would prefer that. I have heard BAT amplification and enjoyed the experience.

The Freya is very good at it's price point, however as aforementioned the BAT is built to a higher standard.

BAT is (has) going through management/owner changes and my only concern would be service for a used unit. Not to declare service a problem, however I would look into that if interested in a used unit. 

Appreciate the feedback everybody and sorry it was a waste but I'm sure other Freya owners appreciate the feedback.

Decided I would pay a bit extra for the Line Magnetic (used) instead of a Willsenton or Muzishare.  LM has been around a lot longer than those two and has a history and dealer support.

Can't wait to play with it!

Congratulations I'm sure you'll love your new LM integrated!
