Pair of Classe CA-M400 monoblocks. Original owner, purchased new in 2007, in excellent condition. All original accompanying materials provided (manuals, power cords, boxes).
I used these amps in a home theater system along with a Classe CA-5200 5-channel amp and SSP-800 preamp/surround processor.  I am selling everything because I have moved and no longer have the space; I have recently purchased from Audiogon sellers a Spectral DMA-150 amp and DMC-12 preamp, focusing just on playing vinyl.
Original price for the monoblocks was $5,000/apiece; other components were purchased in 2010 for $8,100 for the SSP-800, $5,900 for the CA-5200.  So that's $24,000 for everything; I will take $10,000 for the lot.  Asking somewhat more if pieces purchased individually.
For specs, see photo from manual. Some reviews:    http://www.hifiplus.com/articles/the-classe-ca-m400-mono-blocs/    https://hometheaterreview.com/classe-audio-ca-m400-mono-amplifier-reviewed-1/
The monoblocks weigh 82 lbs. each, shipping weight 94 lbs. Buyer to pay shipping and PayPal fees.

Questions for the seller
What is the input impedance through the XLR inputs? Thanks.
I actually do not know, it is not mentioned anywhere in the manual. I used these amps with the Classe SSP-800, so it was never an issue for me. I found this on an old review at http://6moons.com/audioreviews/classe/monos.html: "Oddly, input impedance – crucial for proper preamplifier matching – is not specified either on the website or the otherwise very informative instruction manual where mention is made of their easily-driven input stage." According to a review of the CA-M600 on Stereophile, "Input impedance: 50k ohms balanced and unbalanced." So maybe the 400's are the same.
