Your Classe Omega Impressions 1999 stereo version

I heared them a view times with my own music. This was with the Nautilus 800S which I owned as well at that time. I missed a lot of quality what highend should give. It depends what the price is of a used pair. To be unnest it does not come near the better Pass labs poweramps. I would not even want them for free in my system. Pass Labs is a lot better in realism in sound. Has more depth, wide and more focus on the instruments. Only people with less knowledge of audio would buy them I think. I sold Classe for many years. It is okay, but not you never will win any war with it. You can get a much higher level of sound in all the parts were you judge Highend Audio for. Yess it is that simple!

We are talking about properties/ talents an amp has. I did not like the X series of Pass at all. 0.5 makes a big difference. There are a few Krell amps I like as well. I like stunning quality. Name of brand is not everything. The X and XA .5 series I like, cause of there properties/ talents. I want a wide and deep stage with a sharp individual focus. The thing I also like about the latest Pass amp's is how they can let you hear easilly the different in sound of instruments. This is a big difference with Classe. Classe is a brand what does not do anything wrong. But it are the special parts what can make an amp more involving/exiting. Pass labs gives a wide and deep stage but individual focus is quite big like most US brands. In real an instrument or voice is very small in dimension and very direct to locate. You still need the right tools ( cables, source etc.)to get this right. Nothing is perfect, like we humans are not perfect.
