Classe or McIntosh Is Classe going out of businesssed

I have owned McIntosh equipment for a while now and have never been disappointed.
Whether you like McIntosh or not, it does tend to hold its value much better than most other brands.  I've been successful recently, purchasing nearly new McIntosh electronics (where the original purchaser takes the "hit" on the depreciation), only to find that when I go to sell the items (over a year later, but when the item is still a current model), I get nearly what I paid for it.

How sad I am to hear of Classe' closing. I both sold and still own it. I have the 5100 which is a marvelous 5 channel amp that will drive almost anything with grace as well as the top end processor-preamp. They sit ready to be installed in a home I have been building the last few years. My favorite piece that I ever owned was the CAP-151. Such amazing sound. I have never heard a better integrated amp in my life. Not sure what the 5100 is costing you but no worry when it comes to sound. 

Check out an article by Ted at Strata-Gee.Com today. Apparantly Sound United is interested in buying Classe. Sound United owns Polk, Denon, Marantz and Def Tech. They are looking to add a higher end audio company and are very interested in Classe.

McIntosh all day long...don’t like it, sell it and break even...quality and aesthetics aside this is one of my top reasons for sticking with Mcintosh....

I have Mcintosh C500 MC501's and I love it.
Before I had BAT VK150SE's,Parasound,...etc
And gonna keep my MC .
