Classe Audio CA-5100

This has been part of my Home Theater for many years, so with some regrets I am selling it in order to consolidate my amplifiers for my 9.3.3.6 system. It has served me flawlessly until recently when the protection board went out. I had it serviced and checked out at a Classe Service Center so you will get it in perfect condition. It has both Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs. You select the ones you want to use on the front as it starts up.

I have also listed this amps big brother, my Classe' Audio CA-5300 which is a fabulous 2 channel amplifier in excellent condition. If you want an Analogue 2 channel amp you can't go wrong with this one.

Buy with confidence as I have 100% positive feedback, pay with PayPal (you will pay the fee), no friends and family allowed. Contact me for shipping cost based on your location. 

From Sound and Vision Review:
The first thing you notice about the Classé's sound is its precision. The focus is tighter, bass definition is unusually articulate, vocals have an uncanny naturalness, the treble is super detailed, and yet it's not bright. Transparency is one of the most overused audiophile buzzwords, so I rarely use it, but there's no better one-word description of Classé's sound." -Steve Guttenberg, Sound & Vision

The matching five-channel amplifier, the CA-5100, is a comparatively straight-ahead design. You can attribute a large proportion of its 75-pound weight to its massive, custom-designed power transformer. To ensure the best performance possible, the transformer has three secondary windings, feeding separate power supplies for the left front and surround, right front and surround, and center-channel audio circuits. Classé's engineers replaced the internal fuses and DC blocking caps commonly used in other amps to protect loudspeakers with what they claim to be less sonically invasive control circuits. The amplifier's 100-watt-per-channel output stages are Class A biased to about one-third of the total output power. So, when the CA-5100 is maxed out, the first 30 watts will be Class A watts, which eliminates switching distortion. Did I lose you? That tech talk explains the CA-5100's sweet and transparent sound. Don't for a second let their 100-watt-per-channel ratings lead you to underestimate just how powerful this amplifier really is.
