Classe closes Montreal operations


Classe has closed it's Montreal operation and has let everyone go. All warranties and parts will be taken care of through B&W. A customer at the $20,000 High end thread on AVS forum received a letter from Classe informing him of the situation. Looks like the rumors were true.

I was a Classe dealer for many years.  David Reich was a brilliant designer, but not much of a business man.

IMHO, Glenn Grue did a great job after David left.  Classe was still a viable company for many years after.

I do believe that some of the best designs were early on and Classe never really saw it's own potential.

At the time, the DR3VHC amp, DR8 amp, DR9 amp and the DR6 preamp were some of the best sounding gear you could buy.  Not only good, but some would consider state-of-the-art for the time.

Sorry to see them go...
