“There has to be
something better.”

These were the words of Mike Viglas in 1979, sending

him on a path to the founding of Classé Audio.

Mike was passionate about many things, especially music.

He loved showing off his latest Hi-Fi system at parties.

Then, the inevitable happened. BOOM! Lights flickered,

and silence. As the guests pulled capacitor wadding

from their hair, Mike, embarrassed, vowed that it would

not happen again. There had to be a better way.

How to get both performance and reliability from high-

end audio gear? This was top of mind when Mike met

David Reich, a talented young engineer building his own

solid-state amplifiers. Mike was instantly taken with

the sound of David’s amp and together they set out to

realize that vow. Classé was founded.

The DR-2 was introduced in 1980. It was a 25W stereo

amplifier operating in class A, widely recognized as the

purest form of amplification. It inspired the name of the

new company and other models followed. Classé quickly

earned a reputation for both reliability and its open,

natural, authoritative sound.

Forty years on, Classé remains at the forefront of audio.

The iconoclastic and talented Classé Design team in

Montréal now has a global reach, being larger and

more diverse than ever. Precision manufacturing at the

legendary Shirakawa Audio Works in Northern Japan

allows today’s Classé to deliver on the performance and

reliability always demanded by Mike Viglas.

We are passionate about our mission and think Mike

would be proud of what we have achieved.

THE NEW

DELTA™ SERIES

Try. Evaluate. Improve. Always be open to something new.

Relentlessly attack anything that could compromise the

purest possible signal path. Strip away all unnecessary

complexity. Eliminate everything in the way of the shortest,

cleanest path possible.

We use class A circuitry, the purest form of amplification.

Circuit boards are hand-laid, using six independent layers to

optimally isolate signals, power and ground planes.

We selected only the highest quality parts, and customized

others, with a singular focus on performance. Testing,

certifications and documentation help ensure every unit is

built consistently and to the highest standards.

Whether your goal is five minutes alone with music at day’s

end to unwind, or pure sonic fidelity and reliability for a

professional studio application, the Classé Delta series exists

for you. It is the very definition of something better.

Creating something better takes work. It does not happen

by accident. After years of continuous development,

the Delta series is ready for audition.
