Classe Amps


Looking at a Classe CAP 150 vs. a Krell 400xi

How does an older amp like the Classe compare with newer amps such as the Krell.

Or, how does the Classe compare with today's amps in the $2000 range (the retail price of the Classe 8 years ago)

Planning to use the Classe as the front end of my system (to run my mains) and a home theater amp for the other speakers. Any drawbacks to this?

Alot of questions, appreciate the input.

Thanks

For what it's worth, a DR-9 can't be beat for price and built. Many other ss amps I have heard including Krells might have more bass, but they never capture the soul of a recording as well as a Classe DR-series amp.
