Kal,
Any (early) thoughts? |

Hi silvertone,
I've seen the test data comparing the upcoming Delta Mono versus the CA-M600. Both the noise floor and distortion have been lowered. Have a listen when they become available. After spending two weeks with the new designs I switched back to our trusty CA-M600s (which were thoroughly warmed up and broken in.) The differences were quite apparent.

I listened to it with the new 800D3s in a strange room with many people rustling around and talking in the back, so I cannot say anything useful. Plenty of clarity and impact but, also, an annoying room mode. Nothing negative about the components, though.

The m600 was already one stellar measuring amp... I look forward to the new delta monos.

Does anyone know the power rating of these new amps?

Specifications
Patrick,
Could you share some specs on these units yet? Power rating, current delivery, etc? How soon in 2017 will they be available? Thanks!! |

Hi silvertone,
While unsure about an exact date, my guess is that Classé would be delivering new Delta series components at the end of Q1 2017. That's not an official launch date, but a "guesstimate" based on past experiences. Given the amount of work that has gone into the new amplifiers, I think it's only fitting to let Classé make their complete announcement (the technical brief will be lengthy) when they are ready. I think you'll be pleased. Regards, Patrick B&W Group North America |

Very true. Unless you were in the room early in the morning (like I was to setup the system) there was too much noise from conversations to really have a listen.

Can you say anything about fan noise? In my room, I found that the fan was audible once the amp (CA-2300) heated up a bit. Has it been reduced? It would seem appropriate to handle this, if Classe are working on electronic noise, which is probably 90 or 100 dB down already, even in the old models. Mike |
