I used a Classe ca300 on my 10T's for several years (I still have the 10T's today). Sounded pretty good, when it was working. The bought new amp broke down completely twice within 3 years. The first time Classe returned if after factory repair there were screws rattling around in the bottom of the box because they hadn't screwed in the chassis well (not impressed with that quality control at all). The second time I had to send it back after it quit working, the faceplate got cracked in shipment (I used the original factor carton). Though Classe said they noticed that the box was pretty damaged when they got it, they still threw it away. Without that as evidence, I wasn't able to make UPS liable, so I was out $450 for a new faceplate, plus $100 for a new box, besides shipping cost to send it for repair. Add to that a 3-4 week hold up at the border due to post-9/11 security each time, and owning a Classe started to get pretty tiresome. I dumped that POS (no disrespect to the esteemed Classe amp owners - it did have a wonderful liquid mid, and great things are being said about the Omegas), and bought an American made Krell. The Krell's performance surpassed the Classe in every way. To mention one specifically, the 10T's only critism from the reviewers was a slight bloat/over-fullness in the midbass. I did hear that on my 10T's through the Classe. With the Krell - that was gone. Just wonderful, tight, deep bass. Bigger sound stage, better slam and dynamics, and just as sweet a mid on female vocals.
You will need a big SS amp to get the most out of your wonderful new speakers. Enjoy!
