About the CA-5100
The Classé CA-5100 is a five-channel Delta Series power amplifier designed for high-performance home theater and music systems, delivering 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms with all channels driven and approximately 190-200 watts per channel into 4 ohms. Its output stages are Class A/B with heavy Class A bias to roughly one-third of rated power, so the first 30 watts per channel operate in Class A to minimize switching distortion. A massive custom-designed toroidal power transformer with three secondary windings feeds separate power supplies for left-front/surround, right-front/surround, and center channels to reduce crosstalk and enhance dynamics. Protection is implemented with electronic control circuits rather than traditional rail fuses. The CA-5100 provides both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs, plus 12-volt trigger connections and CAN-Bus/RS-232 control. Weighs about 34 kg (75 lb) and measures approximately 171 x 445 x 470 mm.
