Help with shopping for a power amp


Hello all!

I am a new member to this board but have visited quite often for years. Have a question about matching up an amp with my pre amp. First here is what I have for a set up.

Polk Audio Lsi7 Speakers
Yamaha YST-SW90 Powered Sub
Classe CP-50 Pre Amp
Had a Classe CA-100 - Sold
Sony CDP C79ES Player

I sold the Classe CA-100 and need to replace it. I loved it but I always thought it was just missing a little something. I was wanting to try and get a little more warmth and a richer sound. I have been thinking of replacing it with a Classe CA-200 or a Mark Levinson Model 23. I am sure that the CA-200 will match up just fine with the CP-50 pre but will the Mark Levinson Model 23 match? I don’t have any experience in mix matching equipment. Any advice would be greatly welcomed. The type of music I listen to is jazz, big band, a lot of vocal, acoustic guitar and piano.

Thanks
gerst

Apogee? You might want to check out the D-Sonic thread on this page.

I certainly like watching Led Zeppelin "Celebration Day" BD on my HT. Compared to the CD on my two channel I'm not sure the BD gives much up. Having dedicated systems it's just not an issue.
