The Classé Ten brings together world leading levels of engineering, highest quality parts
and materials, and a never ending love for music, providing an unsurpassed blend of
technology, musical performance and value, while retaining the classic Classé look, feel, and
individuality.

The Ten employs sophisticated circuitry using reference quality parts including one percent
custom metal-film resistors, polystyrene and polypropylene capacitors, leading-edge printed
circuit boards incorporating specially designed Classé UH C transfercharacteristics, and Classe
custom designed switches and relays with special contacts, providing quiet trouble free operation.

The Ten incorporates a massive custom toroidal transformer providing a voltage-current ratio that removes the restraints of inefiicient
loudspeakers, low impedances, and larger listening rooms, providing dramatic lifelike dynamics, detail, and resolution, in an effortless easy to listen
to natural fashion.

The main storage filtering is handled by large custom made capacitors totalling 80,000 UF filter capacitance, and features proprietary Classé
ultrasonic filtering of both the main output transistor stage, as well as the local supply to the low level difierential amplifier stages.

Special custom designed heat sinks by Classe efficiently maintain lower output transistor case temperatures, allowing ultra high current and
voltage with a reduced number of devices, resulting in a faster and truly transparent response as well as total freedom of dynamic contrasts.

Both balanced and single ended operation are standard features.

Extensive research into mechanical isolation of sensitive signal path circuitry, as well as controlled impedances and voltages, dramatically
reduced vibrations causing microphonics, resulting in previously unattainable levels of transparency, resolution of detail, soundstage focus, and a
clean natural timbre and harmonics.

Unprecedented state of the art music reproduction, and levels of natural musical excitement of the Classe Ten have created an immediate stir, from
stereo publications and showrooms worldwide, to the most demanding audio critics and devoted music lovers alike, thus reinforcing Classes
philosophy of repeated listening design sessions, and years of musical fine tuning necessary to approach the harmonics ofmusic, typically achieved
with only the finest quality musical instruments.

Whether judged by its sonic merit or its handcrafted quality, the Classé Ten is clearly a reference quality product capable of complimenting the
finest audio system.
