Hi.
Does anyone have any magazine reviews of the Classe CA-401 amp? I can find nothing on the net other that a few users comments on Audio review?
Was it a best buy or well reviewed amp? I would appreciate anyone who has one on their feedback reference to sound quality.
I’ve just recently purchased one second hand and its replacing a Rotel RB-1090 of similar power.
The Classe is cooler/leaner in the mid/midbass compared to the Rotel but has more transparency. The Rotel’s darker/warmer sound is just a little more musical in the boogie factor to my ears and a little more upfront in the mids. The Classe however sounds more laidback and has greater extension to the bass.
I under stand the Classe operates upto 1/3 of its power in Class A ie, 133watts and the Rotel only upto about 20 watts.
Anyone can clarify this please?
