reflux075 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) SOLD Item: Silver Classe Fifteen Power Amp Location: Footscray, Melbourne Price: $1250 Item Condition: Good, has a scratch on one front handle Reason for selling: NLR Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: Prefer pickup, it's a big, heavy unit. Just had it recapped at CVE electronics, brought them back and plugged them in to make sure everything sounded fine and then have not used them at all, my new amp got plugged straight back in Apologies for the yellow tinge to the pics. Pictures: There have been quite a few people asking for the cost of sending the amp out of Melbourne. I do not have a box for it and it is quite a heavy amp. That being said I am happy to drop it off at a pack and send or similar if the buyer wants to organise and pay for that. Dimensions: 17.25" (431.25mm) W by 7.25" (181.25mm) H by 19" (475mm) D.

The 15 has only just been replaced by a new amp that I got when it was being recapped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need a gutsy amp for studio work I don't think so, I assume it isn't cause there are no holes along the side of the front plate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has the Classe sound, great grip and control of the bottom end with an emphasis on the top end.

paulrp Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I thought it might work in bridged mode for a big centre speaker to match with a big class a stereo amp I have driving my left and right speakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again I have no experience with home theatre, my setup is 2 channel only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry mate, that's as descriptive as I can get.Thanks. Hope this will help the potential buyers to make up their mind. Too bad I have too many power amps already, otherwise, would have jumped on it.

Ittaku Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 These reseller guys will offer you the most affordable shipping interstate for something that big (most won't ship anything that big or expensive): https://www.couriersandfreight.com.au/ Note that they put a nominal minimum insurance for $500 on top of the quote they don't tell you about but that's only about $20 more. I've used them precisely once on a very expensive power amp and they were fine, but that's not anything to suggest they're highly recommended. Just to say there are affordable options for something this heavy, but it comes with risk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
