Re: Rate the Classe Audio 15

63.224.65.186

Mike and Mike B are right on--a Fifteen shouldn't run more than $1,300-$1,500 in used mint. There's one for sale at AudioGon in "exceptional" condition for 15. BTW, the Fifteen was one of the last of the great Classe' amps designed by Dave Reich (the DR in the sequence numbers) before leaving (then) Glen Grue's company in late '92, I believe. The Ten (125wpc), Fifteen (175) and Twenty Five (250) were his designs, and while each bore the same sonic signature, the Ten and the Fifteen were considered by most Classe' aficianados the better of the three when it came to balance and overall presentation; no grain, tight and well-defined bass, full mids, clean highs and a transparent soundstage. I still own a Ten and it remains, IMHO, one of the finest ss amps you can have in your system, but again, synergy is everything.
Good luck on your hunt!
