Classe ca 301 is the low end weak.

This unit seems to be build like a brute powerhouse yet I have heard a few reviewers that claim weak bass does anyone own this unit, I am considering purchasing it or a bat vk-500 my system is b&w 804 bryston bp 25 sony scd 1. other considerations would be threshold t 400 my price range is $2200 max.

I had a Classe CA 300 and found no problems whatsoever, I think it was and still is one of the best amps in that price range. your weak link is the speakers. I had a set of 804's and liked the mid's and hi's but found the bass weak.

The speakers are the weak link. 

I had a pair of B&W 802 Matrix. I sold them for lack of bass capabilities. Even powered with VK-500 & Parasound's dual mono 350 watt power amp! 

I eventual ordered the matching matrix subwoofer. That ups destroyed in delivery?
