As you can see from the above specifications the CAP-101 is a very substantial integrated, quite capable of driving the majority of speakers in its price range. If you have been considering the purchase of a mass market amplifier but you know you are sophisticated enough to be looking for an amplifier which has more sonic quality and better appearance than would be found in a mass produced unit, then please visit your Classé dealer for a listen. The CAP-101 will go well with any of our CD players, including the CDP-.3, as well as with any other source (except phono) you want to connect with, and it is quite capable of driving a wide range of High End speakers. If you require an integrated with phono capability you should consider our CAP-151 with our fine phono option installed.
