Pre Amp / Amp for Klipsch KLF-10


New to Audiogon forum and loving all the info here !  I have a great set of Klipsch KLF10 that I love want to get set up for lossless streaming, . I have an amazon link going into my Schiit Modi 3 and now need a preamp / amp set up.  The KLF10s are 8 ohm / 98 db sensitive / 150 watts cont .  
I was thinking of buying and trying out a Freya + / Aegir stereo unbalanced set up.  Thoughts? Think this is a good set up for for my speakers?

OP...The KLF 10s are easy to drive. I have a pair, along with many other Klipsch models throughout the house. The horns need to be damped ( I am a horn damping freak ). The KLF 10 is my favorite of the 3 models in that series ( KLF 20, KLF 30 ). I have owned several class A ss amps ( still have a few ). Always nice on the Klipsch. I currently am using a pair of Hafler designed mono amplifiers ( these were made for the movie / cinema industry ), to drive my Lascalas, and they are biased in class A. They are extremely hot in operation, and require much ventilation, similar to tube amps. I leave them on 24 / 7, as I listen daily, and they do sound better after a nice warm up and break in ( as everything does, ime ). Wolf, it will be interesting to hear your review of the Aegir, especially compared to your Had. I gave up on tube amplifiers a long time ago, even on horn speakers, where they shine. Take care, and Enjoy ! MrD.
Wolf, ime, " no SS grain ", is a characteristic of class A design, and " reaching into the highs and lows with aplomb ", is surely a description of excellent ss. If possible, leave it on, continuously, and, with music playing ( especially if you listen every day ). It will be interesting, your further thoughts. BTW, many good ss amps are / have been, designed, and biased, to run in class A, for the 1st few watts. Healman, have you done anything with your purchase ? Enjoy ! MrD.
