Looking For The Best Pre-Amp Match For A Pair of Classe Omega Amplifiers


Going to pick up a pair of Classe Omega monoblock amplifiers this week. Need to select a pre-amp for it. 

 

Was wondering which Classe pre-amps  were considered their best offerings?

 

Any thoughts or insights would be greatly appreciated.

You asked specifically about Classe preamps and I have used a Classe Audio 6 in conjunction with Classe amps for years with great results. A highly regarded preamp from Classe built in the '90's, but IMHO, one the best preamps Classe built. Probably leans to the warm side of neutral. I have one I will be selling and they are certainly available on the used market from time to time. One disadvantage is they are not remote controlled if that is an issue, but a great preamp if you are looking at the used market. 

I would recommend taking a look at the CODA SS preamps. CODA tends to fly under the radar, but it is top notch American built SS gear. Very detailed and transparent, but with a warmer quality. The 07X maybe out of your price range, but the CODA CP is a great preamp with a lot of the 07X performance. Both can also be found on the used market. Good luck.
