Conclusions: The Classé CA-3200 is an impressive hunk of amplifier. On paper, it has less power and slightly more distortion than its much pricier big brother, the Omega Omicron, but it concedes little in performance. Judging it by the highest standards and with some of the best loudspeakers available, I can't fault the CA-3200's transparency, balance, or dynamics. As a mate to the B&W 802Ds, it was ideal. Combine that with seemingly bulletproof construction, and I find it impossible to suggest a better three-channel power amplifier. It's also available in two- and five-channel versions that should be equally outstanding.  

Description: Solid-state three-channel power amplifier. Inputs per channel: 1 line-level (RCA), 1 line level (XLR). Outputs per channel: 2 multiway speaker binding posts. Rated output power: 200Wpc into 8 ohms (23dBW), 400Wpc at 4 ohms (23dBW). Frequency responses: 10Hz–22kHz, +0/–0.1dB; 10Hz–155kHz, +0/–3dB. THD+N: 0.004% into 8 ohms (unweighted, 1V RMS/1kHz input, 10Hz–500kHz). Signal/noise ratio: better than –120dB ref. full output, 10Hz–80kHz. Noise floor FFT: all peaks under –95dB, 10Hz–80kHz. Phase error: <10° (22kHz). Voltage gain: 29.1dB. Dimensions: 17.5" (445mm) W by 8.75" (222mm) H by 18.5" (470mm) D. Weight: 90 lbs (41kg).
