The most exciting feature of the CAD 300 SE Signature, aside from how compact and gorgeous it looks, is
the delightful, sensual beauty of the music it recreates. The first thing that will strike you about your new
CAD 300 SE Signature amplifiers is the incredible transparency and resolution of detail of the music. The
CAD 300 SE Signature's sensual nature is best revealed in the sense of life it displays in female vocalists.
Your new CAD 300 SE Signature presents music with such presence and directness; you'll be drawn into
the music hour after a musically satisfying hour. This is the result of single-ended circuit techniques, which
eliminate and crossover notch at low levels and also contributes to the freedom from listening fatigue. The
CAD 300 SE Signature will draw you in even further as you realize how lucid and utterly uncolored
neutrality reveals delicate nuances in the sound stage.
Enjoy the music!
