Had a Classic 60SE for a while and thought it was a terrific amp. Every bit as good as the McIntosh MC275MkIV I had previously. If forced to pick between the two I would keep the CJ amp. However, I had two complaints.......... the end-caps on top of the two output transformers were ugly. A distraction when running without the tube cage (which I prefer). And, it simply did not have the 'balls' to push my new speakers, which are not tube-friendly. With different speakers I would likely still have the 60SE.
I'll guess about the only difference between the 60SE & 62SE is the newer amp now has decent end-caps on the output transformers so looks good without the tube cage.
