Classe Audio rises again

Would only buy if made in North America !

As mentioned elsewhere in these forums,  I have a CP-500 preamp and a CA-2200 power amp.  Really like them.  The CP-500 with all its ins and outs, including balanced on XLR and a tape loop, and neutral as in full sound is quite wonderful.

I am not sure the foreign manufacturing was/is their problem.  In my mind the use of IC's in the later products got them in trouble with high end aficionados. 

I hope the new version of Classe goes back to the quality designs of the era of my Classe products.

You folks take care,

Yeah maybe they will go back to making really great sounding affordable amplifiers :-)

The question is not whether the revived Classe can continue building products but can they sell enough to be profitable?Flip a coin! The hi-end market is extremely limited! Too many competing products!

I also own a CP500 and a CA2200. I've owned 2 CP800's as well. I was curious as to if I could hear or see a difference between the two. They were identical in appearance as well as sonically. I understand a companies need to outsource to survive. Long live
