I had some excellent Classe equipment given to me, two Classe preamps and two amps. One amp was 350 wpc ad the other 150 x 6 or 300 x 3. The preamps were their soul/marketing mates.
One channel of the stereo amp was out due to blown fuses.
Interestingly, the single channel had a huge sound stage. From a 35 year old B&W DM 14, a model known to center the sound between speakers, and the sound was all over the room. I can't imagine anything other than a design of contrived electronics that caused this.
I never even tried the Classe pieces on my B&W 803's because my pair of Audire amps and preamps sound much better, with precise location of the instruments in space.
Having said that, off course speakers send a larger sound than their driver width! Speakers radiate outward in a cone. They are not lasers.
