Thanks, appreciate your opinion. I may have the opportunity to pick up a "B" stock Classe for less than $1000, which brings the two integrateds into the same price point. Think I'll try to find a way to borrow one of each to determine what's best, I figure either the CAP or the Complete will be good amps, question of taste more than anything. Thanks again, Jeff
Opinions on integrateds, thanks...
I'm in the process of upgrading my system in my office. My current set up includes: NAD 712 receiver, Cambridge Audio CD4 CD player, Sonic Frontiers TransDAC, B & W DM601 speakers, Audioquest interconnect and power cords. I'm considering changing the receiver for an integrated and tuner. I've narrowed it down to two contrenders (both approx $700 used): the Classe Audio CAP101 http://www.classeaudio.com/amps/integrat/cap101.htm or the Audio Refinement Complete http://www.phlox-electronique.fr/indexu.htm I haven't had any first experience with the amps, I'm also interested in opinions of like products from other manufacturers . I'd appreciate any and all feedback, thanks, Jeff
