Classe move to China

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

Sorry, lost the last of my post somewhere in the computer world, to Fundsgon, you might look for a pair of CA-M400 if the country of origin is a concern, I wanted to post my impression of differences between the two. If I was looking for home theater I might go with the new design, especially if they were going to be in a cabinet.

Wow, done with Classe. I also try to only buy from US, Canadian, or European companies. I will buy Japanese HiFi, but try not to buy if it's been farmed out to China.
