a used Classe Cav 150 Vs. Rotel 1095

I am currently looking to purchase a used Classe Cav 150 or a New/Maybe used Rotel 1095. I listen to both of them at a Hi-Fi store and they both sounded good, but they were being played on B&W n802. I have Dynaudio speakers which need a little more juice. I would love to audition myself but the Dyn dealer does not carry either of the amp brands. So I was wondering if anyone has any input into this? I have narrowed in down to these to and they are both under $2000.00.

Did you ask about demo at home? Many stores will let you do this overnight if you leave a credit card impression and they consider you a serious customer. Of course, for that service, plan to buy the gear from the dealer.

p.s. You could also haul your speakers in to them. I did this for a couple of demos.

W/o having heard them, and no offense to Rotel, but its hard to image Classe' woould not be hands-down superior. I have a DAC and the sound, build quality and service are definately world class. Rotel offers good value, but Classe' is true high end.
