Polk/sound United will have them making soundbar parts in no time. I have been a big fan of the Polk sound for many years, and my old SDA 1.2TL’s have been a part of my rig for years now. The leadership at Sound United has no real desire to do more than mass market, mainstream lifestyle products.

While I am happy the Classe name survives, I am afraid that is all it will be.
happy to hear Classe is up again as I own the SSP800 and CA2200..  about the video deralte posted, I have a similar problem with the input switching on the SSP.. the trick is you have to turn on the source first then the SSP and it works like a charm, every time.. noticed when he turned it off then on the source was still on so now the CP worked fine.. I wonder if he knew that and purposely "blocked" that portion out...  about the clicking, I never experienced that... I've owned the SSP for couple years now
I have 5 pieces of old Classe equipment, all but one from the Dave Reich era, so having the name still going probably isn't going to mean anything as far as getting my stuff serviced, but nice to see it back nonetheless. 
not sure why they wouldn't want to not repair their equipment.. thats MONEY they certainly can use.. especially if sales are slow.. I;m in the used auto parts business and I know several new car dealerships that say the service dept. and body shop is whats keeping them afloat.. it would also keep their Classe name in good standing in the public eye.. boost new gear sales..
