Classe Reliability : Your Opinions?

What has been your experience with the Classe products that you've owned? How do they compare with industry benchmarks such as Bryston?

I've owned 2 Classe products previously, a CAP 100 and a 15 Both performed flawlessly over the many years that I owned them. Not a single problem, not even a blown fuse. I bought the 15 when Classe products came with a life time warranty. I always have wondered whether the lifetime waranty was withdrawn for commercial reasons, or due to an increase in the frequencey of repairs.

As another member pointed out to me, the term "Lifetime Warranty" could be interpeted in many ways and probably opened a can of worms for Classe's lawyers.

For those of you who have had a chance to experience the last 3 generations of Classe amplifiers I'd like to know your opinions. Any thoughts on comparisons between the 10/15/25 generation of amplifiers versus the CA 200/300/400 and CA 201/301/401 generations? Not just in terms of musical characteristics but also in terms of reliability and build quality.
