Creek or Classe Integrated amp

Without prejudice to the prior post suggesting ranking the CLASSE outperforming the CREEK, there is another more practical risk to assess first, as follows.

(1) CLASSE closed up shop in mid-2106 with a sayonara to most of its employees.... and On October 6, 2017, Classé Audio closed its Montreal offices.

(2) There was a brief respite and hope of a limited resurrection going forword ..... BUT with unknown limitations on past products now creating risks as follows

3) Caveat Emptor for legacy CLASSE . If you do go with a CLASSE legacy product, , be prepared that you may be SOL because:

(A) The “new” CLASSE resurrection in the 2nd article refers to support and sales of “new” products .... and no mention of the same for legacy products . Hence you may still be SOL for parts going forward.

(B) That uncertainty breeds a high risk of getting killed on a resale going forward

I had the Classe' CAP101 and later traded up to the CAP150.  Both integrateds suffered from cold solder joints and had to shipped back to Montreal many times for repair.  I purchased the integrateds for a second system mainly because I had a model 10 amp and later moved up to a model 15 amp in my main system with never having problems.

I appreciate the breadth of responses on more than just comparing the two brands. Certainly interested to see if there are any other opinions on the two brands--but from what I'm gathering, it sounds like I may not be doing myself any favors swapping out my existing separates just to downsize. Thanks, Posters!

Try to find a used Audio Refinement Complete integrated with remote.  I use and love their separates (see system details).

If the Audio Refinement is enough power, I would also recommend this integrated... 50 to 8 and 90 to 4.
