Classe integrated or Musical Fidelity?


I'll be auditioning (at home) a Classe CAP-101 next week. Is anyone familiar with this piece? I wondered if it would be worth buying one of MF A300's to try at home...they're approximately the same price - in the $1500 range. Are one of these generally recommended over the other? I have a Sony DVP-7700 front end and Vandersteen Model 2 speakers. $1500 is a decent chunk of change for me so I'd like to get it right the first time. Feel free to suggest others in this price range, too. Thanks in advance for your help!

Dekay: I did not listen to the A3. From the reviews that I have read it seems that the reviewers either love or hate the A3. This is my first experaince with M/f gear and all I can say is I am sorry that I waited so long to give them a try.
I recently purchased the A300. After auditioning the Cap 150 I was ready to make it my amp of choice when a freind had me over to listen to his new A300. All I can say is I was blown away! The A300 sound IMHO,was more dynamic, bigger soundstage and very musical. I have since matched this amp up with the A3 CD, running into CDM1NT speaks-great system for a great price!
