Classé CAV-180 Multichannel Power Amplifier: Design Overview The Classé CAV-180 Multichannel Power Amplifier is the result of repeated listening design sessions. The sound is fine tuned by the exchanging and mixing of parts and the adjusting of many specific operating voltages. The result of these sessions is a sonic recipe that yields a natural harmonic realism typical of instruments in a live performance. Single Circuit Design All Classé Power Amplifiers and Preamplifiers including the CAV-180 Multichannel Power Amplifier share exactly the same circuit design. This means all amplifers and all high level circuits of our preamplifers are the same. The circuit is tailored for different power levels and applications. The differences are found in the complement and the quality of parts, and the power supply sophistication. The result of years of fine tuning is a very high level of understanding and achievement in circuit design that benefits all Classé products. !
