I purchased the Classe Sigma SSP/Amp 5 combination last October (MIT cabling, ProAc Response 2.5 and 3.0 front end, ProAc Response CC1 center, B&W DS3 surrounds and rear surrounds, Mac Mini server, Linn Sondek LP12, Pioneer Elite Blu-Ray, EAD T-1000 transport). I have found the combination to be extraordinary. While it doesn't have every option under the sun, the compromises have fit my requirements perfectly with the only exception being the occasion when I want to watch an old Laser Disk. For this, I bypass the Video functionality of the SSP and go straight into my television and use the digital output only into the SSP. My only issue is that the DirecTV remote control doesn't work with the SSP so I added a Harmony universal remote. I have had zero regret or buyers remorse in choosing the Classe combination.
