Classe CA-5100 heavy duty 100 watt/channel
rom 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.
