Need some help- Speaker choice for Schiit Aegir+ Freya+

The KEF LS50 META is something to consider for your room. I used an older LS50 (not META) with a Freya+ and Benchmark AHB2 and it was really good. I also added a KEF KC62 sub ($1500) and it works so nicely with the Freya+. In your room that combo would be rather good. My room is too big for the LS50 but it is not my main system.

Opps, I did not realize the amp you have is 20 watts. In that case, the LS50 would not be my choice. It needs more power.

Look for a gently used pair of Fritz speakers (any of the models).  They can be powered by a 300B SET headphone amp, as was demonstrated a few years ago at an audio show, and they sounded wonderful.

If you're not familiar with Fritz, do a search on this site.

I have a pair of Ohm 1000s in a room a shade larger than yours and use an Aegir with a Lyr as a preamp and am very pleased with the sound. While I'm not in a condo, I'm not a head-banger and 85 dB or so is my max volume. The Aegir gets there nicely with room to spare.  I also have a pair of Golden Ear BRX's in the bedroom and the Aegir also works nicely with them.

A pair of new Ohm 1000s is just over your budget at $2,700 but the GE BRXs at $1,600/pair would be under by quite a bit. I think both sets of speakers are great buys at their price points.

Fritz seems like they would be a good match. Having trouble finding where I can purchase them.

I have not seen or heard of Ohm speakers. Also seems like a good match. My budget could be stretched, although I would rather not.

Thank you for the input.

ETA: I see Fritz is direct sale. I can't find any negative reviews online. I'm going to contact him.

Ohm Speakers has been in business since the 1970s and have a devoted following. They have a unique design and are direct sales only. However, they offer a 120 day home trial -- you just pay shipping if you send them back.  Their web site is https://ohmspeaker.com.

Check out Tekton Impact Monitors. Very efficient, neutral and transparent to let the nice Schiit gear shine.

+1 on the Fritz recommendation. He allows home auditions. 

Any of the ZU AUDIO speakers, new or used would work very well.

They gather ads/auctions from various sites (including Audiogon).

I love the Aegir (in mono), maybe the JBL HDI-3800 would work well being a fairly efficient speaker.
