Offered is „CAP-2100“ by Classé Audio as second-hand device from the category „Transistor-Fullamp“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 5957255235 ends on 26.10.2026 at 06:02 o'clock.
Good condition at €2,950 makes this feel fair rather than cheap: the CAP-2100 originally sat in the high-end bracket, and used examples tend to trade well above mass-market integrateds, so this is a sensible buy if it’s clean and fully functional. It does not read as an outright bargain, but it’s also not an aggressive ask for a serious Classé piece.
What you’re paying for is the sound and build: reviewers consistently praise its smooth, refined, detailed presentation, strong midrange insight, and effortless drive, with 100 Wpc into 8 ohms and the ability to handle tougher speakers well. That makes it a strong fit for a revealing two-channel system, especially if you want high-end polish without separate pre/power boxes. If the unit has the original remote, packaging, and no service issues, it’s a worthwhile buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
