Classe or McIntosh Is Classe going out of businesssed

Classe builds in China now ! McIntosh still builds in America , no doubt what I would buy !

If your Parasound is a Halo amp and being used in a HT system, what is to be gained by replacing it? The Halo's are fine amps in their own right. Are you looking for more power?


  

McIntosh makes excellent amps especially their integrated amps.
Their customer service is first rate. You really can't go wrong with one of their products. And they will be here in future years.
Always stay away form companies that are going under.

I have owned McIntosh equipment for a while now and have never been disappointed.
Whether you like McIntosh or not, it does tend to hold its value much better than most other brands.  I've been successful recently, purchasing nearly new McIntosh electronics (where the original purchaser takes the "hit" on the depreciation), only to find that when I go to sell the items (over a year later, but when the item is still a current model), I get nearly what I paid for it.

How sad I am to hear of Classe' closing. I both sold and still own it. I have the 5100 which is a marvelous 5 channel amp that will drive almost anything with grace as well as the top end processor-preamp. They sit ready to be installed in a home I have been building the last few years. My favorite piece that I ever owned was the CAP-151. Such amazing sound. I have never heard a better integrated amp in my life. Not sure what the 5100 is costing you but no worry when it comes to sound.
