What's Up, With Classe Currently?

[Mr Peabody]

I read from a credible source that Massimo, Classe's current owner, has closed the Montreal headquarters and fired all the R&D staff. No mention of when so this may be old news that I wasn't aware of. This doesn't seem like a smart or healthy move for the brand.

Anyone know where or if Classe is now or are they pretty much defunct?

Thanks but when Classe was purchased by Sound United I think in 2021, about a year into ownership the Montreal facility was reopened and staff rehired. I heard that the current owners Massimo has closed them again. However, I was not able to find any current info in a search.

I saw a couple days ago that one of the top Classe guys, forgot his position, left Classe and now is with T+A.

I wish I would have checked that before posting, the way it was mentioned in an article I read it made this seem more recent.
