Classe Audio CA-5200

I am going to 2 channel so am putting up my beloved Classe up for sale.
The unit is currently being used and functions perfectly. There is some small cosmetic scratches as shown in the photos. Item will be double boxed amd shipped insured. I will deliver personally 150 miles from Wichita falls TX (circled area on map in photos) for the asking price and up to 300 miles for $1 per mile over 150. As can be seen in photos the original manual, box and packing materials are included.  Price is OBO and includes PayPal or escrow fees. Shipping will be at actual cost an example would be Denver Colorado UPS ground is $165.29


Listed conservatively at 200 watts per channel times five channels, the Classe Audio CA-5200 is what we could call a beast of an amplifier. It mainly operates as a traditional class AB amp but, at lower outputs, the Classe' engineers have figured out a way to make the amps run as a class-A amp (no pun intended), which reportedly reduces some of the noise associated with class AB switching, not that you can hear any audible noise when auditioning the Classe' CA-5200, as this power amp runs very, very quietly. The Toroidal transformer (the heart and soul of any good class AB amp) is custom-made and extra-beefy, yet the Classe' CA-5200 runs cool as a cucumber.
