Classe CAM 200 vs Bryston 7B SST vs Aragon Palladi
I've heard both the Bryston and Classe. The Bryston has a lot of power for the money but has a cold/metalic sound to it. The Classe has a warmer more refind sound to it. Both are great amps my ears prefer the Classe though...(heard them w/ Magnepa...

Amplifier match for MM de Capo i's
I run mine with a bryston 4b-st and it's a pretty good match. I've heard them w/ classe, gryphon, mcintosh, rotel, essence, and ati. I'll have to say the gryphon and essence opened them up the best. Although the speakers are so good they make less... 
Classe "omega" vs Pass Labs X600
Muralman1:Just wanted to make you aware that the Omega Omicron dual mono amp is discontinued. The Omega Mono and Omega Omicron Mono amps are both still current pieces. See that's why it's good for us dealers to respond to questions also. We don't ...
