Classe Cam200 or Ca201?


Trying to decide between the two. Anyone have any experience with this gear and a comparison? Driving AE1's MKII with Classe pre-amp. Obviously a little more bass would be nice. Should I save for a 301? I do have a REL Storm III for low, low end. Thanks.

Hi,

From what I understand- Classe is just going to introduce two new models this year. I am sure you are aware that the entire product line has been discontinued. They have been filling orders from built up inventory.

Anyway, about the new amps. I beieve a pair of 400 watt mono blocs. And the other a "mulit-purpose" 200 watter that repotedly will drive even the B+W 800s. Multi-purpose in that it will have the option for additional channels- ie home theatre use. Rumour has it that the ch version will be 5k and performs similiar to the Omega.

I have lost so much money on high-end over the years. And these companys have basically priced me out of the market to buy at retail (like I used to do). So I went with the 15 for now. I think it does some things better than the CA-300- but overall the 300 is a better amp- hum and all.
Take care
The 301 has Omega technology, may be your best choice overall, and with the new line coming out, this can be your chance to score a used , or even new one, at a sweet price.
Thanks everyone for the information. I am going to keep my eyes open for some used CAM 200's

I recently upgraded to the CP 47.5, I found it a definite step up in sound over the CP 35. (the 35 is still very good)
