Classe move to China

As things currently stand, it devalues the brand in my mind. Over time that might change, but that will take some real time to happen.

Lenin once defined a capialist as "a man who would sell the rope at his own hanging" .

Not good news and it also concerns me. I will not buy Classe in the future. I really hate seeing US and Canadian companies letting go of people and sending jobs over to China.

I love Capitalism and Lenin was an evil man, but we all can decide, in a free market, where we spend our money. By Classe!

I have a CA-2200 and did audition the 2300. For my tastes and my system I prefered the 2200. I could have swaped out for a few hundred dollars but prefered the timbre and midrange of the 2200, I also did not like the fan but it was pretty quiet once the music was going. I think the bias changed to more of a class A/B, there was more dynamics of the new design and perhaps more extension both top and bottom but I really like the mids of the 2200.

Davt - outside of the original OP's question.....I agree that the sound if the CA 2200 is more to my liking as the fist 30 watts are of class A output. Yes, the CA 2300 is biased more to a true A/B design and thus the increase in dynamics and watts - but at the expense of what was a very beautiful mid-range and from my perspective and otherwise nice balanced sound on the CA 2200, I still ahve mine and it was made in Quebec, Canada
