Lalitk, I agree it is sad to see Classe compromised from it's previous stature. I always liked the powerful yet relaxed nature of the previous amps, especially the old CA models. Like you, have always been a fan and still use my CA200 quite often.
Classe SSP
Folks,
I don't know if anyone else notice the trend, lately there is a flood of Classe gear on A'gon. Especially SSP-800, don't know what the heck is going on with the brand.
Once highly reputed and sought after, now readily available on used market. IMO, the delta series has taken a step backwards with Chinese manufacturing and 'ICE' tunnel technology being used in M600 and CA-2300 amps. I have done A/B comparison, and they don't sound nowhere as good as old Delta amps (no issues with top and mid range but low end is simply flat).
I am just looking for some insight on the brand trend in the used market and ridiculous resale.
As a long time owner of Classe, it's sad to see the current affairs of the brand.
