I didn't try any other amp for the center or rears to compare but at the price point I was looking, it wasn't worth it to me to try anything else when they sounded great.

I did compare the classe cp800 to the sigma Ssp for music and I couldn't hear any difference in blind testing over a weekend so I went with the Ssp for more adaptability.

Hope this helps

Thank you! I have been very happy with my Classe gear. Nice to know that you did not hear a difference between the Sigma SSP and CP800 for music. Lucky enough that my Classe dealer is about an hour away so I can go down and check them out.
