Biamping Classe CAP-100 with CA-150. Good Idea?


I have a CAP-100 and have 2 good offers on the CA-100(black) and CA-150(silver). Most probably I'll get the CA-150 since it has 50W more power on tap and looks better in silver colour.

My question is whether will it sound better in biamping? So far most of my audiophile mates told me that getting a high-end preamp like the CP-60 will be much better than running biamp configuration and only 1 guy recommended going with this biamping as it will sound better. Although I can afford the CP-35 but heard it's not worthwhile going for this low-end preamp.

Speakers are B&W CDM 1NT and source Sony XA7ES.

Any advice?

Pick up another CAP-100 and Vertical Bi-amp as I'm doing this with two Classe 25 amps and a CP-60 Preamp. I find this set up works best for me. As for the CP-35 Preamp, I would hold out and see if you can pick up a CP-60 or there is a DR-6 here on Agon, this is the model before the CP-60, both CP-60 and the DR-6 have seperate power supplies. Happy Listening!
