Other Notes: "Classé offers the CA-400, which can also be used a monoblock- providing a second tier at 1300W into a nominal 8 ohm load...Some solid-state power amplifiers give an impression of neutrality (for solid-state, that is), but are found wanting when compared with other amplifiers, including tube models. Though I didn't find the CA-400 to be highly neutral, I hasten to add that it was sufficiently neutral to not upset the tonal balance of any good system.
Interestingly, it seemed to straddle the region between tube and solid-state. There was a softer, richer quality over the broad midrange that spoke of vacuum devices, this quality associated with a certain sweet "sparkle" in the treble, again tubelike. Yet in the bass there were the kind of control and power—and the load-drive ability to go with it—associated with good solid-state." -Martin Colloms
