Classe CA300 vs. Classe CA2200?

The Classe would sound smoother and therefor better than a Bryston. I have had huge reliability issues with more Classe gear than I care to remember but they sounded nice when they worked. I since have moved on to Pass gear and have never looked back.For sonics Classe but for reliability Bryston.

HI Mitchb - could you elaborate a bit on your Classe reliability issues?

Thank you, Mitchb for response.
Very interesting your opinion about PASS, but this level is over my budget.... :-)

I had a CA300 for many years and had no reliability problems. Same for the DR-10 that I owned for several years before that. Acording to my dealer, after I bought my CA300 in 1995, Classe modified the amp to make it sound more impressive in the showroom---sharper highs I recall him saying---but overall less natural in his opinion. He later said the CA301 was voiced in a way that took it back to the original CA300.

I don't have any experience with more recent Classe gear.

Classe does make a new 300 watt stereo amp. The CA-2300.
Reviews of this and the new model 300 and 600 watt monoblacks have been very positive by every reviewer.
