analog brother Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) 4 hours ago, al said: am not really sure whats changed to be honest ab, I think i first heard with the classe delta pre pwr some nearly ten years ago on release with their cp700 and matching pwr and cd source. sounded sublime with some MLs. my cousin is a classe ML fan and so every now and then get to listen to the combo and it does a lot of things well even if not my own personal choice for gear. as far as I know the delta range is no greatly differnet 10 years later just assembled and made in china. but then a lot of things these days are. the chinese made classe still sounded pretty special on some top of the line B&W 800 series I heard with more recently so must be still doing some things well. though yeah am sure its probably not for all. heck I dont own classe anything and only B&W group thing I own these days is a pair of their headphones. but doesnt stop me acknowledging it "sounded quite nice" so am not sure whats changed for you. maybe hear these when they do come out and let us know i liked the original sound signature better. today's classe are very different to the old. totally different philosophy. we are talking about the 1990's. i preferred them over krell back then and that's when dan d'agostino was in his heyday.

analog brother Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 beautiful. to me, just the brand's font say's it all. compare that to the new one, which to me, immediately implies coldness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betty boop Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 am not sure if was reported here on ces2019 news but classe are back and with the pre and mono blocs and stereo amp option as per op in this thread, https://www.avsforum.com/classe-delta-pre-mono-stereo-demoed-ces-2019/ as mentioned in the article linked, "The very first thing that was stressed is that the brand is ending any manufacturing in China. This equipment will come out of a factory in Japan. Secondly, this is hard-core gear with price points that are not for the faint of heart. The Delta Pre is priced at $9999, the Delta Mono is also $9,999 and the Delta Stereo has a $12,999 price tag." owned by denon and marantz owners sound united, wouldnt be suprised coming out of one of their factories .... any ways good they are back and producing this great gear again wonder if they will bring back a nice integrated ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antipodean Brad Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Apart from the colour I like the pre-amp., but the power amp's are just plain ugly. I wonder if the louvres close automatically when it starts to rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very possible for a high wattage a/b amp, with this kind of fan forced chimney heatsink. With normal external fin heat sinks, it would be almost the size of a coffee table each, as the 25w Class-A heat temperature goes up exponentially as the B wattage increases.
