CLASSE - Great amps or highly flawed?

Kevzeik,

The statement you qouted does not say that the design is the same, just the design "philosophy". Philosophy and circutry can be two different things.

Anyway, I own a CA101 and feel that it meets my needs better than a McCormick, ie. DNA .5 delux, which I am very familiar with.

I think you meant "IYO" when you made your statement comparing the McCormick to Classe'. I would agree they have a different sound but as to which is better....that is for the listener to decide. I don't consider myself the final authourity on absolute matters and certainly not anyone else.

BTW, I don't believe the DNA.5 delux is outdated and vastly improved upon by McCormick. Also, for the record, I never owned the DNA .5, a very good friend of mine does and I have listen to it for hours on end and I have enjoyed it. I just like the Classe' in my system better.

That's my story and I am sticking to it ;) And, I will give someone else the last word.
