Hmm, I never read those Classe reviews but I've owned both the CA-100 and CA-200. If these amps were so "flawed" I wonder why so many people find them to be outstanding performers and excellent values? My CA-100 was a great match with my Thiel CS 1.5's and the CA-200 was better with tighter and lower bass. If anything, there was a very slight emphasis in the midrange or a slight "warmth" which is a great match with somewhat try Thiel speakers. I heard no treble emphasis at all. If anything, I found Krell to sound "bright" compared to the Classe amps that I've owned.
CLASSE - Great amps or highly flawed?
Some love them. Others criticize:
Highly colored.
Midrange nice, but euphonic & not accurate.
Highs rolled off, and given an electronic sheen.
Overall dark sound.
Imaging only so-so.
Lack transparency.
Textured sounding.
Bass somewhat lacking definition & loose.
What's your opinion??
