Mixing amps pre amps?

Now I have conrad johnson pv14L pre amp and also cj amp. I need more power and am starting the upgrade process. I am going to audition the classe ca2200 I think. Will it work well or is there a way to tell with the pv14L or should I also bring the cp5 classe pre amp. I just want to hear classe in my system to see if that is the route I am going to take. I may even go with the mono blocks. initially want to hear one of thier good amps and this is all my dealer has to demo.
thanks

My system is the CJ 14 with Classe CA-150's. I like the combo of tubes with the SS amp/amps. The sound is great for my listening room and music tastes. The bass is full and tight and the joy of tubes is there in the midrange. Hope that this helps. Steve Levick

The Classe CA-150's are bridged and my speakers are Aerial 8's. These love power and sing with this combination. The music that I enjoy ranges from female vocals,violin,pipe organ , to world music to Pink Floyd. I never cease to enjoy the music at low to high volume levels. Hope this helps. Sorry about the turnaround time I was away for a few days. Steve Levick
