Theta Dreadnaught 1 vs Classe CAV-180

Thanks Friz, BIG help

I have the Dread II and is profiled here, but I have also heard great things about the Dread I. One of the differences might be power? Now you can 5 X 225 or 2 channel it will paly more like 250 as the 2 will draw from the 3 not in use.

Movies are scintillating, you hear every detail. Audio 2 channel I would agree with everything already discussed. My system is now very revealing with background details more soild and present.

Good luck on your search. I had called Craig Shumer about the Parasound, he talked me into Theta II, and I thank him!

I have owned both units... I actually bought a theta to use as temp amp while my CAV-180 was sent out for a tune up (4-6 weeks can be lifetime without an amp) ... I got such a sick deal on the Theta, I figured if i liked it better, I'd sell the Classe when it came back... Long story short, I still have my Classe... SOld the Theta as soon as my Classe came back to me... it was not a hard decision... At the time i was using B&W 804's & a Classe SSP-600 Pre.
