Classe Audio's remarkable achievements are reflected in its worldwide reputation for unsurpassed musical performance, reliability, consistency, and overall value. Classe's philosophy is one of technological evolution, not revolution. All Classe amplifiers share a common, unique design. Each model employs a massive, shielded toroidal transformer to power sophisticated, high-speed circuitry. In most high-end amplifiers, this power is sent to a small number of large reservoir capacitors for distribution. However, large capacitors are often slow in responding to the rapidly fluctuating energy demands of music. The ingenious Classe solution uses a large number of small capacitors distributed throughout each amplifier which are located in close proximity to the circuits they supply. The result is a lightening-quick response creating fabulous dynamics coupled with a more natural sound! Microphonics, caused by component vibration and magnetic interference from the passage of electric current through them, has pl...
