CLASSE SSP-800 SURROUND SOUND PROCESSOR

Introduction

Classé is considered one of the finest audio product manufacturers in North America.
They market preamplifiers, power amplifiers, and surround sound processors (SSPs).
The SSP-800 is their current processor. It’s been around for awhile, and they have no
plans to replace it with a new model in the near future, but there have been some
firmware updates along the way. So, I decided that Secrets should have a look and
listen to what I was sure would be a fine product.
