Classe closes Montreal operations

Classe has closed it's Montreal operation and has let everyone go. All warranties and parts will be taken care of through B&W. A customer at the $20,000 High end thread on AVS forum received a letter from Classe informing him of the situation. Looks like the rumors were true.

I won't miss them. To me, they were good but never great..

There was some excitement when they first began, like with the DR-9, but after a while, their image became very dull and me-too. This is a tough business, and you have to find a way to keep people interested, not just be competent.

I had a CDP-10 player which was excellent and a SSP-30 preamp excellent for music and movies. That was around 2003 w/the old design.

FWIW, All B&W speakers except 800 series are now made in China. The 800’s are still being made in England from ground up.
