Classe Audio products, past vs. now?

Just a wonderment that you may be able to help with.  I had owned quite a few Classe Audio components at one time.  Owned their best pre and power, CD player and even the Tuner-1.   I had enjoyed their units and liked the sound of the CD player with the Ultra Analog chip.  With this said, where does Classe Audio stand today?  Do they still pursue SOTA 2-channel audio or have they sold out to "home theater"?

riley,

Yes, I am in that early stage of trying to catch up with the current high end market. As you well know, it is not easy to cull the real from the hyperbole. The gear I have had the most of in the past would be ARC, CJ, Classe, Bryston, BAT and others. Speakers have usually been from Magnepan, Martin-Logan...and in "the old days" Dahlquist..etc.

I listen mainly to acoustic Jazz and female Jazz/Standards vocals.... as well as the "special 180g pressings" of Lawrence Welk.   I hope you and yours have a good holiday season.

oh i have read that a few times in your threads.

why not stick with one of those that you have had before or so you want to try something different this time?      

are you looking at getting just one piece of equipment of classe or going to mix match ?
