I owned the Classe CA2200 for a few years and compared it to the CA2300. I also demo'd the virus RS100 and RI 100. The vitus is much better, richer sound, better hold and depth to bass, more detail, deeper soundstage. The vitus is really a very nice amp. Very different cost, I think the vitus is twice the cost or near that of the classe. I would love to have the vitus.
Classe CA2300 vs Vitus RS-100
What amp is better? For classic music, for hard rock & metal? How good is Classe 2300 for Sonus fabers, e.g. Stradivari? I've only listened to entry level Vitus amp with Strads and it was great match, but Vitus is a bit expensive and Classe amps are more often met in second hand than Vitus so I'm looking for information, impressions and opinions about.
