| Classé CP-800/CA-2300 combo |
Here is your chance to acquire my reference amplifier combo. I am selling my Classé CP-800 DAC/PreAmp and Classé CA-2300 power amplifier.
Unlike current production, which comes from China, these units were manufactured here in Montreal, and in fact were hand-selected for me by Classé’s head of quality. They both look indistinguishable from new, and perform as flawlessly as the day they arrived.
Selected Technical Specifications (from Classé’s web site):
CP-800 (http://www.classeaudio.com/products/cp-800.php#specifications)
• Frequency Response 8Hz - 200kHz (analog bypass)
• Frequency Response 8Hz - 20kHz (other sources)
• THD + Noise 0.005% (digital, analog bypass)
• SNR 105dB (digital), 104dB (analog bypass)
• AirPlay support (via ethernet only)
• Remote control
• DAC supports 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.1kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz and 192kHz.
• Dimensions 17.5” (W) x 4.8” (H) x 17.5” (D)
• Weight 23lb (10kg)
CP-2300 (http://www.classeaudio.com/products/ca-2300.php#specifications)
• Frequency response 1Hz - 100kHz (-3dB)
• Output power 300W/ch (8Ω), 600W/ch (4Ω)
• Harmonic distortion <0.002% @ 1kHz (balanced)
• Intermodulation distortion >90dB below fundamental (8Ω)
• SNR -116dB at peak output (8Ω)
• Dimensions 17.5” (W) x 8.8” (H) x 17.5” (D)
• Weight 88lb (40kg)
These products are clean and articulate sounding, with excellent stereo imaging and deep, powerful bass. They are a good match for power-hungry full-range floor-standing loudspeakers such as my own B&W 802 Diamond S2s. The CA-2300 runs notably cool and silent, employing innovative "ICTunnel" technology. These high quality units will repay careful matching with ancillaries such as interconnects, loudspeaker cables, and AC power regenerators. I recommend using balanced connections for best performance.
I will be happy to demonstrate these amplifiers to anybody wishing to make the trip to the Montreal (Canada) area!
Price (does not include shipping):
• CP-800 US$4,000
• CA-2300 US$5,500
