Amp is a mv60se with focal 1007s Thanks.

I think the CT6 would be a nice step up from the Classic as the CT6 is a "composite triode" design, and looks on paper to be much like the Premier 17 preamp. The CT6 was supposed to be a "baby CT-5", but it uses 6922 tubes, which gives you a lot more flexibility as far as tube rolling goes.
You can always call C-J and ask Ed how the CT-6 compares to the Classic. They are very honest and open and will tell you what they know based on their experience. When I called and asked if the ET3 was as good as the Premier 17, they said, "No way. The Premier 17 was built to a notably higher specification than the ET3".
I'd say go for it!
