Only because you did not get any replies yet, I will throw in my $0.02. I recently heard the 805D, a more expensive B&W, with a Classe pre and power amp (current models, not sure exactly which). The amp is rated at 300 watts per channel. I thought the sound was excellent, smooth, balanced, detailed and dynamic, with excellent transients and vocal reproduction. Deep, powerful bass is not to be expected with a small stand mount speaker, but otherwise, it was great. B&W owns Classe, and share distribution channels, so I would expect the pairing to be a good one.
Classe CA 200 with b&w CDM-7NT
I am looking for a new amp to pair with my b&w CDM-7NT speakers, and recently came across a used Classe CA-200 for $1200. I was wondering if this amp will be a good pairing for the speakers. These speakers have been a bit on the tweeter sounding side due mainly to an underpowered for these speakers (i have been using a parasound z-amp!)
Is $1200 a good price for a Classe Ca-200 amp?
