SoundStage! LIVE Press Event - Avalon/Classé

ian_avalon_sentinel.jpg (24893 bytes)January 7th marked the world premiere of Avalon's newest speaker, the Sentinel, whose price is yet to be announced (SoundStage! contributor Ian White is shown next to it). A pair of the Classé Omega amps drove the Sentinels, filling the large meeting room at the Golden Nugget with sweet sound.

Classé had a full compliment of new products on display, including the Omega preamplifier ($10,000) and the CA-301 ($5000), CA-401 ($7000) and CAV-500 ($8000) amps, all featuring technology used in the Omega Series products. The CAV-500 is a multi-channel amp for (what else?) home-theater use. But the new products didn't stop there. The CAP-151 ($2000) is the upgraded version of the popular CAP-150 integrated amp. The new Classé CDT-1.5 CD transport is approximately $2400.
