Classe Audio rises again

I also own a CP500 and a CA2200. I've owned 2 CP800's as well. I was curious as to if I could hear or see a difference between the two. They were identical in appearance as well as sonically. I understand a companies need to outsource to survive. Long live

Good news everybody...

let's hope they manage to resolve the quality issues. have a look at this

As you may realize, even if the difference is inaudible some would not consider the 800 because of the IC(s). Myself included. I would worry that they might be lazy/cost cutting in other areas. That quality of gear should have discrete circuits.

Take it EZ,

Unfortunately, Classe is only a small shadow of what it once was when all of the design/engineering and production was performed at their facility in Montreal prior to being taken over by B&W a few years ago.
