Why do i hear a thud when i shut down the system?
As you mentioned your system has 2 sub woofers, I think the thud comes from your sub, it could happen when you turn off your system even with the amp first because the sub still connect to the pre-amp output. Try to turn off the sub first and see ... 
Need suggestions for speakers for Classe system.
I have my Classe Ca400 with Magneplanar 2.6r. You should try run mono block with a new pair Maggie 3.7 or used 3.6. It sounds great with my Maggies.

preamp for classe ca200
I just purchased a used Bat Vk3i to my Classe amp Ca400, it sounds very sweet, and you can do tube rolling to adjust the sound that you like. You can find used one under $1000, I think it will match well with CA200. Good luck.
