Mixing amps pre amps?

I'll check th manual on that. What about the fact that cj does something like inverts the phase or something. does this matter.

thanks, Hey salevick what speakers are you pushing with the cj and classe mix? I may get classe or go back to cj. classe 2200 or even the mono blocks. cj et250s or premier 350. If I do decide on classe I may also audition the pre amp as they have it as a demo also. with cj I would definately stick with the pv14 although cj informed me they are coming out with a new preamp which is a descendant of the pv14 that is specifically meant for the et250s. Who knows, currently don't have a cj dealer here have to go over one state

Rlawry, I checked and the amp input imp is 100kohms and the pre amp out imp is less than 200 ohms. Thats good or ok I geuss

Thanks

Just my own thought process on this no evidence to back it up but I think all the stereo imaging and all the warmth and stage starts in the pre amp. From there I think you just need a amp that isn't going to mess that up. I think the cj amp normally doesn't have as much low end but may sustain more warmth than say classe. I read a review somewhere on the premier 350 cj and the reviewer was comparing it to some mono blocks (large ones). While he said the mono blocks had more low end power which should be obvious since they are bigger and heavier. He said the detail and depth of the low end on the cj was like something he'd never heard before. He said there was a lot more going on in the low end than he had ever realized.
