Is this the kind of CT-2300 you’d want to pounce on before someone else does? At US$1,600, it lands well below the US$1,876 25th percentile and far under the US$2,153 median, so this reads as a strong buy rather than just a fair price.
That’s especially true because the CT-2300 is a respected 300-watt-per-channel Classé: powerful, refined, and known for a big, controlled sound with a bit of that smooth, spacious Classé character. At this level, the main upside is getting a serious heavy-hitter for less than the market norm; just make sure the unit is fully functional, since age and weight make careful packing and a clean demo worth asking for.

Classé Audio emerged from Canada in 1979, founded by music enthusiast Mike Viglas in partnership with engineer David Reich. Frustrated by unreliable high-end electronics during a demonstration, Viglas sought superior performance, leading to the company's debut product: the DR-2, a 25-watt-per-channel Class A stereo amplifier launched in 1980. This pure Class A design not only inspired the brand's name but also established its early reputation for open, natural sound and unwavering reliability, with headquarters just outside Montréal.
The brand specializes in high-performance electronics, excelling in amplifiers, preamplifiers, integrated amplifiers, and processors for both music and home theater systems. Early models set the tone for authoritative power delivery, evolving into robust units delivering 250-300 watts per channel while maintaining sonic finesse. Classé has consistently prioritized no-compromise research and manufacturing, focusing on components that deliver theater-grade dynamics and musical precision without venturing into speakers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Classé commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its Canadian heritage and build quality, once handcrafted in Quebec. Acquired by the B&W Group in 2001 and later by Sound United in 2018, it remains a benchmark for reliable, powerful electronics that prioritize longevity and uncolored reproduction, appealing to buyers seeking investment-grade hi-fi.
