Dynamic, detailed and goes loud without strain, excellent on blues and jazz. I compared the 301s with the Classe CA 400 and the 301s just had more control and power on the backburner. Maybe they had to do with the new omega-based design. The 400 was more tubey, warmer and a bit better on vocals, but I was looking for an amp that could be cranked for both music and home theater, which I believe would suit your Integra.

I had a CA-200 driving a pair of Legacy Classics, was very happy with the combo. Warm and musical, especially for solid state. Since the upgrade bug hit, I have neither anymore. Currently I have a Threshold T400 driving a pair of Vienna Acoustic Beethovens, but I still have a Classe CP-60 preamp and a CDP1 CD player. John
