I have owned the 350s for exactly one day. They drive my 10 day old Aerial Model 9s. FWIW, I am quite pleased. Relative to the Classe CAP 150 (a really teriffic integrated) that I have had for 10 years (and which powered the 9s for 9 days), the bass is far far superior. The soundstage is huge. While the 400 may be richer as a previous post indicated, the 350s sound pretty warm to me. IMHO, you can't go wrong w/Classe.
Anyone compare Classe CA-M400 vs older CAM 350s ?
I am looking to upgrade to monoblocks with my Magnepan 20.1s from the Cal Audio 2500 MCA (1000w/4ohm in 2 ch mode).
Is there much difference between these monoblocks ?? I buy all used and obviously the 350s price is more atractive. Considering the Ayre V1xe used, but concerned about total power (obviously lusting for new MX-Rs or Classe Omega Omicrons, but too $$$)
My current pre is BelCanto Pre 6, but I eventually plan to upgrade to to Ayre K1xe or Audio Research Ref 2 and run all balanced.
Any thoughts welcome.
