Classe Audio CA 5300

Classé‘s Latest Generation Multi-Channel Amplifier – Extremely Light Use – Excellent Performance

The Classé Delta CA-5300 is a reference-level five-channel power amplifier. It’s Classé‘s latest generation multi-channel amplifier. If you’re looking for a true reference-level multi-channel amplifier, the Classe Delta CA-5300 delivers in every way. This is Classe’s latest-generation 5-channel amp and it’s a significant step forward from the previous CA-5200 that I also owned. The CA-5300 (300 W/ch) easily outperforms the CA-5200 (200 W/ch) in refinement, control, dynamic range, transparency, and authority. A key highlight is the CA-5300 has a sophisticated ICTunnel (Intelligent Cooling Tunnel) that Classe still uses today and that the CA-5200 lacks. The ICTunnel is a microprocessor-controlled system that ensures the amp operates at its ideal thermal level, guaranteeing consistent performance and long-term reliability. Its direct signal path on a single circuit board contributes to a remarkably low distortion and high signal-to-noise ratio, making it a reference-class amplifier.

Usage History & Condition

• Works perfectly with no functional issues whatsoever
• I am the second owner and purchased it in August 2022 from a highly reputable original owner
• I used it for only six months total in the past three years from my August 2022 purchase date to January 2023 (the date that I bought a Classe Delta Stereo two-channel amplifier to replace the CA-5300). I changed my 5 channel system into a 2 channel system. So you're getting an amp with exceptionally low usage.
• Since January 2023, it has been stored safely in its original Classé box in an air-conditioned room
• Lightly used in a climate-controlled / air-conditioned cabinet
• Very good condition overall with minor scuffs on the top and sides. There is a small nick on the top edge of the left side that I didn’t notice until recently as it’s at an angle. These cosmetic imperfections are hard to see unless up close. Please see photos for more details about the amp's cosmetic imperfections.
• It comes in its original Classe box with Classe packaging, as well as a power cord and the manual.

• Stunning clarity and realism across all five channels
• Effortless 300W/channel power delivery with exceptional dynamics
• Reference-grade performance for both high-end home theater & multi-channel music
• IC-Tunnel cooling system – whisper quiet and keeps the electronics running cool for long-term reliability
• Dead silent background with superb channel separation

• Classe's latest 5-channel amplifier
• Proprietary IC-Tunnel cooling system (not found on the CA-5200). When the electronics are running at their optimal temperature, the sound performance improves (transistors and MOSFETs operate far from ideal when they are hot).
• Stable into difficult speaker loads
• Designed for reference-level multi-channel systems
• Built in Canada – premium engineering & construction

If you’re seeking a reference-level multi-channel amplifier from one of the most respected brands in high-end audio, the Classe Delta CA-5300 is hard to beat. It runs cool, sounds exceptional, and has been gently cared for.
