Classe vs. Sonic Frontiers

I do prefer panasonic.

Good for you Ernand, but I'm not really interested in Panasonic!!! Thanx for your input.

I had a SF line 1, Classe 200, SF CD player and B&W 802 series lll in my 28 x 17 living room for two years. Classe makes excellent amps but I am not as impressed with their other gear. Went to B&W 802N, and a little bass power was missing. Now have Classe 401. Got a deal on Leavinson 380S and sold the SF line 1 after that. Point being... The first system was very good, the second is more expensive and EXCELLENT. I really did like the tube preamp....but the Levinson is hard to beat if you can afford it.

i haven't heard either of these, but if yure considering a change, proac recommends the arc 100.2 amp & the ls-16 or ls-25 preamp. i've heard the proac 2.5's w/the 100.2 & the ls-16, & it sounds great.

I have own both and auditioned them against one another. Classe CAP80 vs. Sonci Frontiers SFS-80. I have previous owned an SFC-1 sig. integrated tube amp and preferred it over many solid state amps. I was amased that the perforamnce of these two were very close in many aspects. It took concentrated listening to find their differences. That how subtle the differences were. Recently the CAP80 have received favorable resommendation by Stereophile. Either way your the winner!
