Sonic Frontiers Line 2 / Classe CP-60 for CAM-200

I have just secured a deal on the Classe CAM-200 monoblocs. I need recommendation on a matching preamp. I have shorlisted only 2 – Classe CP-60 and Sonic Frontiers Line 2. I’ve got mixed reception from my audiophile buddies so I just thought it’s better if I get more views from people over here.

I’m also planning to upgrade my speakers to B&W Signature 805 but some people suggest JM Labs Mini Utopia.

Kindly do not suggest other manufacturers since I am now narrowing my choices down and not wanting to have more options that will cause me further sleepless nights!

Thanks in advance.

You have to decide on tube or solid state. As a former owner of the CP-60, I can't recommend it highly enough. The best SS preamp I ever owned or auditioned. That is a very extensive list too, including the likes of Krell and Levinson gear. That being said, I've currently forsaken SS for tubes, namely a BAT preamp. It's not as flexible as the Classe, and the bass isn't as strong, but there is something about the way it handles vocals that has me smitten.

Regards,
John
