The Classe Seventy 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 Seventy 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 UHC transfer characteristics, and
Classé custom designed switches and relays with special contacts, providing quiet trouble free operation.

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

The main storage filtering is handled by large custom made capacitors totalling 40, 000 UF filter capacitance, and features proprietary Classe
ultrasonic filtering of both the main output transistor stage, as well as the local supply to the low level diflerential amplifier stages.

Special custom designed heat sinks by Classé efiiciently 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 a 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 Classé Seventy have created an immediate
stir, from stereo publications and showrooms worldwide, to the most demanding audio critics and devoted music lovers alike, thus reinforcing
Classés philosophy of repeated listening design sessions, and years of musical fine tuning necessary to approach the harmonics of music,
typically achieved with only the finest quality musical instruments.

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