Classe Model 4 and Model 25

@Paradisecom, @yogiboy,
Thanks for your comments. Yogiboy, could you elaborate on the phono stage a bit, perhaps how it compared with other preamps?

@pickindoug
The phono stage was better than the Threshold FET 2 that owned before the Classe. BTW, the power amp that I used with the model 4 was a Classe model 15. Make sure that the model 4 includes a phono stage. There was a line only version . I sold the Classe gear about 15 years ago!

Great info - thanks!  I know this is mid 90s gear, so it may need a little bench time.  Main concern is resale if it doesn't sound better than what I've already got in place.  

Currently using an SP3a1 and a variety of vintage power amps, both tube and solid state.  Depends on the speakers in play.  I would assume the 25 is a better power amp than what I've got, but I had an HK Sig 1.5 from the Madrigal factory circa 2000 that was not competitive with what I kept.  Running Maggies, Thiels, and Altec 604, depending upon the mood, music, and the day.  Also have some vintage electrostats in rebuild that will like lots of power when done.
