The Classe DR-9 is an All time classic. A highly musical amplifier that recieved class A rating in Stereophile and in The Absolute Sound as well. I have both reviews and will be happy to send them for free to the lucky buyer. The Classe DR-9 is a high current / high voltage amplifier that much of its design is based on the exemplary Classe DR-3B & DR-3 VHC highly acclaimed class A power amplifiers. Although it’s output section is of an A/B design, David Reich managed to have the DR-9 sound very close to the CLASSE class A family of  amplifiers.  Beautiful midrange, silky highs, articulate bass, great sound-staging, and excellent dynamics. This amplifier can also be bridged and deliver 400w!! of truly musical sound in 8 ohm when bridged. Technical specifications : 100w / 8 ohm in stereo 400w mono,  200w / 4 ohm in stereo 800w mono,  400w / 2 0hm in stereo, 1100w mono.  My DR9 amplifier is configured to operate on 230v (European countries, Australia and Asia)  but can  be changed back to operate on 110v by a technician . CLASSE provides the  instructions  in the DR9 service manual which I can provide (it can also be obtained from CLASSE).  When I received the DR9 I sent it to a highly skilled technician for a comprehensive check. Except for replacing two small capacitors that are located on each side of the amplifier (the blue ones in the front photo), the rest of the amplifier was found in perfect condition!! There is a stamp on the back of the amplifier that proves the amplifier was technically checked and serviced. Biasing was also done so whoever buys this amplifier can be assured he receives a perfectly working amplifier. The buyer will also receive the original DR-9 manual. I do not have the original box,(it’s just too big to store) but I am highly experienced with international shipping and especially with careful packing so the amplifier will be meticulously packed . I am selling my beloved DR-9 reluctantly because a few weeks ago I have moved  to a much smaller space that forced me to have my audio system downsized (literally). As can be seen in the photo’s, I have been using two DR-9s in a dual mono configuration and the sound was truly mesmerizing, but I have also been using a single DR-9 for a while and I had great pleasure with the single DR-9 as well. The DR-9 is a very robust amplifier and can hold literally any speaker with ease. It can handle very difficult speakers (the amplifier is stable down to 1 ohm !!) with no feeling of even slight stress. Due to it’s proven stability with difficult loads, it is one of the most wanted amplifiers for powering planar speakers that are infamous for having extremely difficult loads (down to 1 ohm).  I am a veteran Audiogoner with a perfect feedback of 100% so you can buy with full confidence.  Thanks for watching !!


Questions for the seller
Hi, tks for the quick reply but I am using magneplanar and do not prefer stereo only to drive them. Pls left me know if the other deal falla thru'. Tks again.
I understand. I will check and let you know asap if the other amplifier may be available . Thank you, Avi C
Dear Avi, I am interested in the amp. Would you ship to Singapore?
Hi, No problem al all. The shipping cost is 300-350$ Due to the size and the weight of it. I can split the shipping cost between us in order to lower the total cost for you. Let me know if it works for you. I can't express enough my high recommendation for this amplifier. Best wishes Avi
