Your Classe Omega Impressions 1999 stereo version

Hi Guys
Ever sice my first Classe amp,the CA-400,I have loved their older style build quality.I have always dreamed of having this older version and may have a chance in the near futer.I would love to hear your experiences/comparisons with these babies as there were not many made(somewhere a little over 100).
I love the pre 2003 series of amps as I believe alot of workmanship went not only into the sound but the looks also.
thanks.

Hi MCL
I had the pleasures of looking and listening to one of these bad boys about 5yrs ago on some B&W 800D and it sounded amazing.I am not a B&W fan(I like ATC/PMC sound) as they seem quite coloured to me....BUT,they did however sound good.The amp seemed to be very unlimited and very refined in both macro and micro dynamics.It is also quite a stunning piece of eye candy when you are truely looking at one.

I have a pair of Omega monoblocks, and I will say they are neutral, effortless, manage to represent both micro and macro dynamics. They have no aggressiveness to them. The best of solid state.

Thankyou for your posts.I found out there were just over 100 of these 250lb stereo units sold in total...So they are rare.
