I also use a tube pre-amp with a SS amp and agree with above posts-- excellent combinations can be found.
Re: Goone's question: I think a SF Line 2 would VERY likely be an excellent pre-amp for the Classe' amps. The Line 2 is quite neutral (not warm or euphonic), and it should go well with the somewhat warm? sounding Classe' amps. (I've used a Line 2 for near 4 years). Cheers. Craig
