Classé Audio, Inc. shares a
dream with its clients-the true
re-crention of a live perfor-

creation of audit) and home
theater products of impeccable
quality is an approach that an
audiophile magazine recently
called a combination of art and
sctenee that exemplifies the hest
that high-end audio has to
offer. This remarkable achieve»
ment is reflected in our world-
wide reputation for unsurpassed
musical perloriiiance, reliability.
consistency, and overall value.
Classe's philwsophy' is one of

know works.

All Classe amplifiers share a
conunon, unique design. Each
model employs a massive.
shielded toroidal transformer to
power our sophisticated. high»
speed circuitry. in most high-
end amplifiers. this power is
sent to a small number of large
reservoir capacitors for distribution.
However, large capacitors are
olten slo in responding to
the rapidly fluctuating energy
demands of music, The
ingenious Classé solution uses a
large number of small capacitors
distributed throughout each
amplifier which are located in
close proximity to the circuim

they supply, The result is a light-
ning-quick response creating
fabulous dynamics coupled with
a more natural sound!
