Help with shopping for a power amp


Hello all!

I am a new member to this board but have visited quite often for years. Have a question about matching up an amp with my pre amp. First here is what I have for a set up.

Polk Audio Lsi7 Speakers
Yamaha YST-SW90 Powered Sub
Classe CP-50 Pre Amp
Had a Classe CA-100 - Sold
Sony CDP C79ES Player

I sold the Classe CA-100 and need to replace it. I loved it but I always thought it was just missing a little something. I was wanting to try and get a little more warmth and a richer sound. I have been thinking of replacing it with a Classe CA-200 or a Mark Levinson Model 23. I am sure that the CA-200 will match up just fine with the CP-50 pre but will the Mark Levinson Model 23 match? I don’t have any experience in mix matching equipment. Any advice would be greatly welcomed. The type of music I listen to is jazz, big band, a lot of vocal, acoustic guitar and piano.

Thanks

I would look at a quality tube amp for warmth and richness. Something in the 50 to 70 watt range. Many choices in that area.
Hi all ! The Belles A150 is a nice amp , sounds as close to tubes as I have heard from solid state . Can be had for around $500 if you look a bit .
What made you think the Classe amp was to blame for the sonic weaknesses? I'd think the Classe stuff were easily the strongest parts of the chain.

Not trying to be condescending.
Speakers are going to change the sound more than any electronics ever could. It may be that electronics is not the cure! So many flavors from which to choose!
