Shane

Buettner laughed at

me when I told him I

spent two months

strength training

before

the Revel

Salon2

speakers

arrived at my home

last year.

"They're

almost 200

pounds

apiecei' I said in defense ofthe

improbable

truth.

Now a year

later, running has consumed my

life and strength training has

lallen to the

wayside. It was

time

to start using Planet

Fitness

as

something other than a place to

shower after a run. The five-times

300-watt-per-channel, Class6

CT-5300

was

coming-all

113

pounds

ofit,

and I had to get in

shape.

In a world

thats content

with

mediocrity

(cue

the movie trailer

voiceover guy), Canadian

manufacturer Classd

is

to be

admired for proving once again

that

high-end is

the only

way it

rolls. The CT-SSP surround

processor isnt

some

hussied-up

audiophile

rig

designed by

engineers that dorit even own

HDTVs. Instead, the CT-SSP is

equipped with the latest in

surround

processing

and

video

switching.'vVith four HDMI

inputs and two concurrent

HDMI

outputs, the CT-SSP made short

work of

hooking

up both my

Pioneer Elite KURO 60-inch

plasma and my

JVC

DLA-HDI

projector. How do you like me

now?

Class6's

CT, or Custom Theater,

series are

no-compromise

additions to the company's highly

regarded electronics. Currently

the only

processor

in the CT line,

the CT-SSP

is internally identical

to C1ass6's

flagship

SSP-800

surround

processor,

albeit in

more rack-friendly

garb

intended

primarily for dealer installation.

The irony

is

that,

with

the

exception ofits

room

equaliza-

tion, the CT-SSP

is

even easier

to

set

up

and install than some

budget

AVRs.

In

support

of its customers and

dealers, Classd

also offers the

ICTunnel

cooling

system. It's

expressly designed

with

tempera-

ture sensors,

quiet fans, and

extensive aluminum

heat

sinks
