Classe Audio rises again

As mentioned elsewhere in these forums,  I have a CP-500 preamp and a CA-2200 power amp.  Really like them.  The CP-500 with all its ins and outs, including balanced on XLR and a tape loop, and neutral as in full sound is quite wonderful.

I am not sure the foreign manufacturing was/is their problem.  In my mind the use of IC's in the later products got them in trouble with high end aficionados. 

I hope the new version of Classe goes back to the quality designs of the era of my Classe products.

You folks take care,

As you may realize, even if the difference is inaudible some would not consider the 800 because of the IC(s). Myself included. I would worry that they might be lazy/cost cutting in other areas. That quality of gear should have discrete circuits.

Take it EZ,
