Up for grabs is a rare find... A Classe Fifteen solid state amplifier, a behemoth with the voice of an angel. Too many amplifiers in my stock, and with a heavy heart I'm letting this one go as part of this year cleaning. I won't spend too many words describing what this 60lbs beast can do, I think Larry Greenhill from Stereophile summed it up nicely: "No other power amplifier in my current arsenal, including two more expensive solid-state units, each of which received a Class A rating in Stereophile's "Recommended Components" in its time, could better the Classé Fifteen..."

I'm rating it a conservative 7/10 due to a few small nicks on the front and handles. I've tried to capture all of them in close up photos. In real life it looks great, and from 3 ft away, you can hardly see these imperfections.
It works flawlessly, and is completely stock - no mods or repairs. I took a photo of the inside to show you how clean it is. This baby can drive any speaker on the planet, with musicality rarely found in this price range. They just don't make them like that anymore :-)
No original box, but I can include a reprint of the user manual, or just send you the PDF.
Shipping is $100 flat to CONUS - it will come double boxed, and well protected. It weighs like a 9 YO child at around 60 lbs. I'll cover PayPal fees.
Note: I am also listing it's pre-amp brother, the Classe Five - check my other listings.
