Classe Ca101 Bridged questio
Comes close , but a CA-301 is better. I now use 2 Ca -101's as mono blocks. Have owned both. On the Ca-101's be careful not to let the power cords touch the interconnects or speaker cables , a little tricky becuase the IEC plug is in a bad spot.

Classe or Mac ??
I have owned both . I would go Classe.

Classe' CA-5200 vs. Rotel RMB 1095 w/ B&W 802Ds
Definetly worth it . I went from Rotel to Classe and in my experience the difference was huge. 
High quality processors with HDMI 1.3
There is a very high end Denon coming out in about two weeks . I think it lists for $7500.00 . I know thats its fully balanced , its made in Japan , and in terms of processing options , no other machine comes even close.
