Would This Amp Be Worth The Cost?

The only way to know is to plug it into your system and listen.  Specs are meaningless on a printed page

@greywolf,
Your have received some wise counsel in response to your post and I hope you give it some thought and consideration. When I first ventured into the audio world I was introduced to a magazine quite popular at that time called Stereo Review. The featured audio reviewer was the late Julian Hirsch.

I respected his background as an electrical engineer and initially gave credence to his opinions, which essentially was that most amplifiers measure well and subsequently will pretty much all sound the same. As I gained listening experience and exposure to more audio equipment I realized that Mr. Hirsch with all due respect was just plain wrong.

I could easily hear obvious and distinct differences between amplifiers and other audio components. I recognize that everyone has their unique experiences and perspective. However I strongly disagree with probably well meaning advice that 400.00 amplifiers are all that’s required and anything above and beyond is simply preferred distortion.

Go out and listen first hand for yourself to a variety of different amplifiers and see what you find. Measurements are useful to a point but will not reveal how a component or product is going to sound. You have to judge with actual listening encounters.
Best of luck to you.

@greywolf, 

Can you tell us about the rest of your system?  What preamplifier are you using?  What are you listening habits? How loud do you like to listen?  What is it about the Classe that you like/don't like and/or reason for replacement? 

From what I can tell, that Musical Fidelity is a ~$4k-$5k amp.  Is that a good budget for you?  

Why would you buy that amplifier the Coda #8 power amplifier is the best sounding Amplifier I have heard under $10 k and retail $6200
