**Strength:**Very tuneful and 'musical', accurate, fast and tight sound, 'standby' mode feature, can host active x-overs (g-r-e-a-t improvement to the sound) - [driveway repair hamilton](https://hamiltonconcretedriveway.co.nz/driveway-repair/)





**Weakness:**For the price, none. Compared to its bigger brother (LK140) it lacks some power and the LK140 is slightly better tune-wise.

**Strength:**The Exposure Super 15 is an exceptionally musical integrated amplifier. It's not much to look at, but it's the music that counts and this little amplifier does music very well. I compared it directly to the NAIM NAIT3 and to my ears the Exposure was much more mellow and warm. The NAIM had a clarity that the Exposure was lacking on certain pieces; [Lehi Towing Company](https://lehitowingco.com/)

I bought mine used from a local dealer who told me it would be the last amp I would ever need. I drive Maggie 1.6s with it and have driven the speakers with 4 different amps. The classe is by far the best. I have compared it to the Bryston 4Bsst (Magnepan uses this amp in thier listening room) and find it to be superior ie not so "dry"
It will drive the Maggies cleanly to very loud levels.I can't think of anything that it dosen't do extremely well.
I have put a better power cord on it and turned the LED arround so it shows green when on and red when in protection mode ( why woudln't Classe have done that?
Only downside is that I can't move it very easily, and I leave it on all the time and the cat likes to sleep on it
It is the last amp I will ever need.

**Strength:**Power out the wazoo. Easy on the ears, transparent. Used it's a real steal! Anyone who needs a better amp than this needs to get out more. A lot more!! This amp is quite good.





**Weakness:**Well, it's solid state, but quite good nonetheless.





I think I've found "the last amp I'll ever need"! This thing is terrific. As long as I don't have to lift it, it would require a fork lift! Sound is great, although I'm running it with a CP-50 so it's not surprising that they pair well. I love it, and finally have no reason to consider other amps. Great sound, effortless no matter what I throw at it. Highly recommended. And no, you can't have mine! :)

**Strength:**Tons of power on demand Built like a tank Runs relatively cool Truly supurb sounding





**Weakness:**Size-your not going to hide this one in a stereo rack





I bought this amp 2nd hand from the original owner after auditioning several different products. I listen 60% to 2-channel audio and 40% to home theater. The CA-300 powers my pair of Magnepan MG 1.6QR effortlessly at any volume. These Magies are known to be quite power demanding and I can say for certain that this amp can deliver all that is required of it without breaking a sweat. I compared the Classe’ with the Krell KAV-250, B&R Reference amp, Linn, and a few others. My personal opinion was the Krell was to bright and lacked the depth in sound stage that I was looking for. It did have plenty of power but I did not feel it was a good match for the Magies. The B&K just did not have the power on demand and continually would fall apart at high volume. The Linn was a close 2nd to the Classe’. It did a truly superb job bringing out the inner detail from some of my favorite recordings. It had no trouble powering the Magies for 2-channel audio. It did seem to lack the power on demand required for home theater applications which is why I ultimately decided on the Classe’. I have been buying and selling amps for as long as I can remember. For the first time ever I think I can finally say I have found the perfect amp for my Magies.

The CA-300 is noted for its ability to effortlessly drive difficult, power-hungry speaker loads, such as older electrostatic or planar speakers. Its topology uses large capacitor banks rather than a few large capacitors, providing incredibly fast signal response.
