I did have a LS26 for my analogue gear, it is a great pre-amp. My memory could be off, but I think the LS26 has a passthrough. You can run the Meridian gear through the LS26 to get to the front speakers, and your analogue and digital never have to meet, which is the way it should be.

I do the same now with a Bat51 pre and G68. Works great.
