I am also glad to see that Classe is back . I am using an older Model # 20 preamp and a model # 10 power amp which I had completely rebuilt about  3 years ago , they have an extremely seductive sound . I am interested in the newer Class D offerings. Anyone with any experience?????

I have a CT-SSP and asside from it not doing 4k (frankly thinkg video should not be off loaded to the audio, and go directly to screen, like the Oppo 205) the sound is very good, I am pleased with it. I hope that they will be able to deal with any warranty issues that might come up over times, or even non warranty upgrades.

I own a SSPmk2, a CA-5100 and an AMP5.  The 5100 is a wonderful amp (very musical) and the AMP5 is a home theater amp.  I used the AMP5 for a few days listening to music and couldn't wait to get back to the 5100. If you only do home theater Classe class D amps are OK but if you are into music stick with their AB based amps. I think a used CA-2200 would be a good choice and probably a good buy right now!
