I purchased a Classe CA-201 today to power the odysseys until the XPA-2s are released in 45 days to....well..who knows anymore.
I am eagerly awaiting the amp to see how classe pairs up with our ML gear. These amps sell very quickly on Agon, so I figure if it doesn't match up well, it will be on the open market quickly. I will do an A/B comparison of the Classe Vs. the XPA-2s once they are released. I had a Rotel 1090, The Classe CA-201 and the Mark Levinson No. 331 to choose from. The ML seemed under powered (for such a HUGE amp) and the Classe just seemed like it would...well, out Class the Rotel. But I do know the 1090 received a lot of praise. Can't wait to get some testing in!
