extraordinary longevity

Another beneﬁt of having worked with highly reﬁned circuit designs so extensively over many years is that we have vast experience in what works well over the long term.

By using only the highest quality parts to begin with, and then using them in an informed way as a result of both accelerated aging experiments and actual long-term experience, we are able to design and manufacture products which we are conﬁdent will stand the test of time.

We are conﬁdent that your new Classé surround processor will give you many years of trouble-free reliability and musical enjoyment, just as previous Classé products have given their owners.
