Replace CJ with new equipment

I would like to add that CJ and Klipsch make a great combination.   I have some La Scalas and always wanted a PV 10 to match up with a small McIntosh I own.

belance1 .....You are going down the same path I did back in 2009.

The Premier 11 Amp has very fine mid range detail, sound stage, and presence!
That said the bass response is very thin and lose.  Great for classical, not so much with rock.
This amp has Zero Negative Feedback. CJ is proud of this fact....they brag about it in the manual.
Tube amp of ~75 watts and no negative feedback = little to no bass.  

I moved to a CJ solid state amp which had MOSFET circuitry and 150 watts.  Still not happy.

I ultimately purchased a CJ  LP66S Tube Amp.  Being budget minded due to retirement played a major role in this decision.  This amp does have some negative feedback and much better bass response than the Premier 11.  But, the mids are not as lovely as the 11 was.  All that being said, I am happy with my decision.  I utilize a Premier 17LS preamp.

In my humble opinion stay with CJ equipment, it really does sound better than most out there.

Jeff at CJ did my amp renewing.  I have been quite happy.   

Don’t sell your CJ stuff, please. I’d start with getting NOS preamp tubes for both units and replace the 6550’s if necessary. NOS tubes are way better than the modern tubes CJ that sells at a ridiculous mark up. Then, replace ALL the electrolytic caps.  Finally, replace all the coupling caps with Mundorf Supreme or better.  Finally, get a used Klipsch powered subwoofer.  I guarantee you will be super happy with the results and will have way better sounding equipment than any of the brands mentioned above.

I went from a PV12 to a CJ CT5. Big improvement while keeping the CJ house sound. Gutsier with more detail and better imaging. I'd consider that or its replacement the ET5. These also come with the Teflon caps referenced above.
