Classe CA-400 Vs. BAT VK500/1000, which is better?

I have the newest Classe C6 Preamp with a CA-200 driving Dunlavy SC-IVA, and intend to upgrade, but am wondering what would sound better. I do like the mello tubiness associated with Classe's amps. With only a two stage amplification gain in the BAT is it really quieter than Classe? Any personal experiences and advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'll agree with the above statements about the BAT. I have
a BAT VK500 (actually a converted VK 1000) and have been
extremely pleased with it. It might be a bit overkill
with my Signature 805's but I'm, not complaining. Its
very rich and detailed but without shoving it all in
your face. Great bass control as well. Just be aware
that its very heavy (110lbs) and does pump out a lot
of heat.

Good luck
