Classe' amps

I, too, am fond of Classe amp and all their gear in general. Started with CDP.3 ( BEST CD PLAYER FOR THE PRICE BY THE WAY), CP-45, CA-200 4 Years ago.

Current Classe Inventory boasts the following:
CDP.3 (stiil great)
CP-45
CA-400
CA-400( Yes two CA-400's)
CAV-150
SSP-50

Yep,Classe represents great value.My analogy with cars,performance wise,is as follows
KRELL= Mercedes Benz
Mark Levinson= BMW
Classe = Lexus

Abecollins, I just came back from a Business trip(stranded in Houston)and here is my reply: The fact that I have still kept CP-45 after aquiring SSP-50, simply CP-45 is much better in musical and lifelike presentation package. SSP-50 in comparision (two channel stereo balance mode for both)has a lot less blacker background, partly due to a some what extended higher freq response, and diminished guitar and piano reproductions ( although a lot smoother than CP-45) but with a little better soundsatge depth. Overall result simply is NOT musical and lifelike for MY system. For watching movies and TV in stereo surround and or DTS/Dolby digital, the SSP-50 does perform exceptionally.
