Classe DR-15 amplifier compared to Classe Dr-9


I have two Classe Dr-15 amplifiers used in bridged mode and was wondering if they compare favourably with the Classe DR-9's. I find the Dr-15's to sound really good, not as fast as today's amps but otherwise very little to complain about. If the DR-15's compare favourably to the Dr-9's I may forget about replacing them. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Classe DR-9's/15 I had both amps. The Dr-9 amps are more refine to my ears and with more weight and growl Than the 15. the Dr-15 is a later design/product and has no association with Dave Reich the original designer of the 9 and once owner of Classe. I am sure there are memers who see and hear it another way?
If I remember rightly the DR-9 was designed as an A/B design to compete with DR-3s in sound without the high price tag of class A. The DR-15 is more of a Glen Grue designed amp using Dave Reichs signature as a selling feature.
