Preamp for FM Acoustics F10 amplifier


Friends,
I just bought a pre-owned FM Acoustics F10 amplifier. It has been a dream to buy an FM amp. Now, I need a good preamp for it. FM preamps are at the moment beyond my financial reach so I have to look for non-FM preamps that would work well with the F10.

I currently have a Lamm LL2 preamp. It is doing the job but I am sure it can be bettered with a more carefully chosen preamp for the FM. My budget is $6k (new or pre-owned). Please pour in your suggestions.

The Klyne 7 Line Stage is very interesting. Sonically it closes the gap between Transistor and Tubes. Way more musical than a Aleph P.
It has varaiable gain, i think, that is something useful for your Westminster Speakers and a high powered Transistor amp.
The advantages here are
- you can adjust the Input from a connected unit to your preferred level
- you can match the Preamp to the Amp you want to use
Overall - when done right - it is a super feature.
Some of these Klyne also have an internal - adjustable - Phonostage. There is worse out there ... :-)

Good to hear you like the Antimode. When I acquired mine I called the manufacturer in Finland and talked with one of the engineers: with the Antimode the best position for the sub is well into a corner. This gives maximum corner reinforcement for more power, smallest dips, but also biggest peaks. The first two effects are an advantage and the peaks can be dealt with by the Antimode. It works well, and in many situations the sub will also be less visible.
I am similarly saving for a second sub. That will not be stereo, but dual mono. The Antimode 8033 does not have stereo outputs, and that would not be quite so desirable either. At these frequencies bass is completely non directional, and dual mono subs give a smoother response than stereo subs.
