Classe ca 301 is the low end weak.

I owned the Classe 301 for a few years until I moved up to the Omega. I did not feel that it lacked bass in anyway. Of course when I ran a pr. of Thiel MCS 1's I added a Genesis 900 sub but when I ran this unit with full sized floor speakers I felt that I no longer needed a sub. I ran MIT speaker cables with the 301 and felt the bass to be very full and controlled I would strongly recommend the 301 and when I can afford one I will buy it for my system!

I am still using a CA301 with a CP 65 pre and never have found it lacking in bass. It has been used with smaller Northcreek Revelators and larger Vandersteen Quatros. It was tried at a friends house with Eggelston Andras where the bass performance was very good. I have found the lower registers balanced with the rest of the spectrum not delivering the overemphasized slam some other amps are known for. Even when driven hard the amp only gets moderately warm. I have also auditioned the newer Classe Delta 2200 and did not find it a significant enough upgrade.

Thanks guys I appreciate the help as I was a little skeptical before, any other thoughts would be great.
