I use AR's LS-16 with Krell FPB-350M (previously with FPB-300)...Great match!

Tube pre gives a nice warmth and you still get the Krell (SS) Slam!
I have Classe amp and looking for Tube pre-amp, considering BAT VK-30, Sonic Frontier L2, Audio Research LS16, which one is best match with classe amp? Jeffloistarca have you use bat vk30 with classe amp, and how does it sound? Any info will be appreciate.
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
Check the Krell manual or with Krell. I had a FBP200C and remember that there is something inside the amp that must be switched before you can use a tube preamp. It has been awhile since I owned the amp, but I would check first.
Currently using ARC LS25 with BRYSTON 4BST balanced, very nice combo, smooth mids, tight bass, plenty of slam.
