J M O N Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 I also once had the slightly less powerful Threshold S/200 (not my photo or amp). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J M O N Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 The last of the Threshold amps I once owned was the CAS-1 (also not my photo, nor photo of the amp I owned). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J M O N Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 I just recently sold this amp. I'm a big fan of Classé Audio power amplifiers. They are very smooth and almost tube-like. On the used market, the prices they sell for make them a great value and in my opinion, should be considered by folks that tend to purchase the more common "lower-grade" brands that are out there. Ask anyone that's ever owned this brand and I think they'd agree. The CA-100 puts out 100 watts/channel, can be bridged to mono, and accepts both balanced and single-ended inputs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J M O N Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 The Classé Audio Model Seventy was my very first Classé Audio power amplifier I had owned and is what sold me on the brand (again, not my photo nor is this of the amp I owned, but looks identical). This one has 70 watts / channel and also has both balanced and single-ended inputs. However, I don't believe it could be bridged to mono. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketFoot Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I just picked up a vintage Sony STR-V4 receiver! It churns out 50 under-rated watts per side. It's paired up to a set of Sony SSCS5's speakers and a Sony SACS9 subwoofer right now but I am on a long, slow hunt for an affordable set of Cornwall's or La Scala's! I also have a vintage Sony CD player and hoping to find a Sony TCK-44 cassette deck to round off the system! I also have an Amazon Echo Dot hooked up so I can stream from Amazon Music or IHeartRadio! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even care if it works, they are just great to look at! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avguytx Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I went through that stage and sold it all over the last 10 years. I wish I had it all back now to sell at the stupid prices some bring currently; especially the SX-1980 I had. And maybe the Sansui gear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have the Classe DR10 amps in bridged mono and Classe DR6 preamp... I miss them so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
