    Multiply those various improvements by the dozens or even hundreds of such decisions that must be made before the product can be finalized for production, and you have a remarkable improvement, indeed – all based on careful listening tests, which we view as a necessary comple- ment to the solid engineering you might rightly expect from Classé.
