What do you think of Classe

I was wondering what you guys thought about the Classe 300, 400, 301, 401 power amps, I recently bought a CA-300 and I love it, very powerful bass and very smooth sound with slightly on the warm side of neutral, the soundstage is very wide and decently deep, I'm just wondering how the other big SS amps compare (Krell FPB series, Pass Labs etc)Already I want more.....

Although each amp mfg'er you mention adds it's own sonic signature, the Classe amps should fall right into the same category of the Krell and perhaps the Pass Labs amps.

Perhaps that may or may not explain your already wanting more.

Very good products if you like their character. I would describe them as a little dark, a little warm, smooth, coherent, and overall pretty rich. Different type of sound than Krell but Pass, McIntosh, JRDG, and Revox are similar IME. Congradulations on your fine purchase! Arthur

Sounds "electronic" compared to Rowland. Doesn't quite get the timbres of acoustic instruments right.

I was making a general-sound-type comparison. If Classe sounded exactly like Rowland, Rowland would be out of business. Arthur
