Classe preamps


I'm looking into buying my father a used Classe amp and preamp. I saw some reviews in audioreview.com that were not that complimentary. I am considering the CP45, CP47.5, CP30 and CP35 for preamps and the 10, 100, 150 for amps. Thanks

I have a Classe CA-200 and a CAV-75 amp for surround. I think they sound awesome. The 'Classe Sound' is rich smooth midrange with clean smooth highs. The bass is full and deep, although I've had other amps that were tighter in the bass and more detailed, but the Classe wins overall because of the warmth in the midrange. Vocals are awesome. Don't pay too much attention to the audioreview reviews, if you notice many of them seem to be people that hate Canada. Maybe they are threatened by the compatition. I read these too and they made me nervous, but I'm glad I ignored them. The sound is excellent and build quality beyond reproach. Good Luck.
