FS: Classe Model 25 amp

TroyD

From my personal collection:

Classe Model 25 amp. A real MAN's amp. Classe's TOTL amp from the mid 90's. If you are looking for a reference quality, solid state amp that has enough power to push your Toyota to Sheboygan and back, look no further. This should be the last SS amp you EVER need.

Specs:
Stereo
250 wpc @8ohms
500 wpc @4oms

Bridged:
1000wpc@8ohms
1600wpc@4ohms

Balanced/unbalanced connections.

Why am I selling? Simple. With the aquisition of the Quads, I've found the sound of my reference rig and there are a few last things that I want to do to take it to the nth degree and to that end, I need cash. This is a statement amp that, honestly, just isn't being used to it's potential.

The unit itself is flawless, 9/10 for age only. Includes original box/packing/manual and power cord, I'll also include an upgraded power cord.

I'm the second owner of the amp, the original owner bought it new for 4500, I think I may still have the receipt in the box.

My price to you: EDIT: 1400, shipped, lower 48. USPS money order. Personal check if we discuss prior.

I'll let it ride here through the weekend then it's off to the audiogon.

Very nice. That would surely drive my Mirage to a whole new level.
But alas, its well beyond my budget for the time. I'm sure you will have no problem selling it at that price.

TroyD

Thanks, Bill.

I hate to part with it, but I'm just not using it as I should...agree, at that price, it's a steal for an amp of this quality.

Wow...nice amps showing up lately; some polkie is going to get a treat here.....


BTW, those AL-III's you have in the other thread look just like mine; do you still have them?

TroyD

No, Dave (DAGLJAM6) has them.

The Classe is hooked up to my SDA rig (in the same room)

seriously thinking about it...

I should be getting my yearly bonus soon...

This amp and Russ`s pre should be majic..!!

if I can pull it off before both pieces sell...:o

Shizelbs

Would this do any justice to my Amazings?

TroyD

If this amp doesn't, nothing will.

Beardog, as of now, has first right of refusal.

BDT

TroyD

This is the amp from my second rig, Sean. The big boy toys are in the other room.

I own it AND the room it's in. More than you can say, eh?

SVS just took the cash for this amp!

Troy, I spoke with Ed (Dr Spec) today while ordering my SVS Sub. He asked about you and if you were still overseas and I told him no, you're home and back to your same old BDT self. I briefly spoke to him about the PolkFest we had at your palace and the goodness you created (cooked).

You'll see him around here soon.


Back to buying this amp from BDT everyone....

TroyD

Cool, I need to get w/ Ed. GREAT guy.

OK, amp still up for grabs, bear has stepped aside for the time being.

Is it too early to call dibs on the 2.3TLs?

Whatcha' up to with the vinyl/ESL rig?

<----My 3000th post. Somehow I thought it would be more noteworthy.

I've bagged the stand alone motor assembly for the VPI and am toying with the idea of finishing the full on MkIV mods. Possibly the TNT platter.

Also, there is a pair of (ahem, Russ) of neato cool tube monoblocs for the Quads on the horizon.

The 2.3tl's aren't going anywhere

Grunt?

Yeah, whatever. If acting like a condescending putz to me makes you feel better about your lot in life, have at it.

Sean & BDT, there is such a thing called the ignore button, you should both use it for each other.

It gets tiresome seeing you 2 snipe at each other whenever you're in the same thread.

Good luck with your sale Troy, that looks like one killer amp!

Ditto. Especially when the older, more mature one is always the instigator.


Man, that must be one awesome amp. I can't believe it's bridgeable into 4ohms; that's sweet! How much does it weigh?

RuSsMaN

Is this thing still here Troy?

Then who is Troy to eff with, now that Cliff isn't around??:p

TroyD

It's MY thread, therefore, I'll respond to whom I choose and the manner I choose. I don't mean to be rude but, if that bothers someone, please feel free to put me on ignore as well.

AB, as politely as I can muster at this point. Put a sock in it. Based on a previous transaction I said to the effect that I wouldn't sell anything to you, and I won't. So, it begs the question, WHY ARE YOU POSTING IN MY FM THREAD? :mad: I, for one, am sick of seeing your friggin' posts in EVERY FM ad. 'oh, nice piece!' 'wish I had the coin' blah blah blah. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Yes, the amp is STILL available. Because I'm a swell guy and this thread is turning into a charlie foxtrot, the one and only price drop: 1400 to your door.

You will NOT find a better amp at the price. Power? I used it to jumpstart the neighbors Oldsmobile this morning.

Cliff's still around, he's just flying under the radar so to speak.

Troy: Don't suppose you'd take a swap for a pair of adcom 565's and a counterpoint SA-100...

I know I'm dreaming...

Sorry, man, not unless they were accompanied by 1400 dollars.

At this point, I've got things lined up, I just need cash. Again, for solid members, if you are interested, we can talk about putting you on a coupon book or what have you.

I'm going to mull it over tonight, don't put a hold on it, but I'm going to entertain the idea.

Ditto that. I'll try to move some stuff on the 'gon that's already been passed up here so I'll have some reserve the next time something like this happens.

Emlyn

PM sent with offer to buy!

BlueMDPicker

A hush falls over the uproarious babble (babel) of the market place.
