Affordable Processor with Fabulous 2 Channel ?

Hi Caphill
i can not get my dealer to come out and re-calibrate it. I don’t think they carry Classé anymore since they are now part of Sound United. Very frustrating as I don’t have the tools to do this.

You don't want to be messing around with a manual PEQ if you don't have tools to do it. You might want to leave it off until you can have someone who can do proper calibration for you. You could hire a pro or an acoustician to do it for you.

It's a bummer that your dealer does not carry Classe anymore due to change of ownership. One of my local dealer here in Seattle, WA does not carry Classe anymore for that same reason. 

Beautiful area in Seattle. I am located in northern Indiana.
I just contacted my dealer again. They said they can calibrate it but are out 3 weeks in scheduling. So hopefully I will have it set by the first of September!
Thanks for your helpful comments.

@erik_squires - I hear you are interested in NAD.  Based on my listening, NAD is a warmer and mellower sound with softer highs.  Classe Sigma/SSP will be very high resolving with lots of attack and resolution.  Depends on what you are after.  My own tastes would prefer the Classe sound.

aux - 

Thanks so much. I am for their modular construction and relative price (say compared to Theta) - But I've had one really poor and one good experience with NAD DAC's which has made me pretty wary. 

Best,
