Audio Research REFII vs Classe?

I believe the Classe will be a tad out classed.

......I wish that I could just hear my Classe CP-700 pre-map to make a comment....bought it demo from an authorized dealer about two weeks ago and due to an ERROR within the unit regarding ''AC voltage''....it won't play and had to send it back.....no word as of this date. I sold off my Rowland gear to buy Classe's new Delta line...so far - I'm not impressed !!!! ....and this stuff isn't cheap !!!!

Well that isn't encouraging Garebear!

Especially considering my other thought is to keep the REFII and replace my Proceed HPA2 with a Classe CA2200. I like the Proceed but have concerns on the service from Madrigal.
