Affordable integrated pure class A?

This is <200 and supposedly pure class a. Anyone heard it?

Thanks guys. I’m assembling a system from scratch and have heard so many good things about pure class A. I’m looking at bookshelf speakers in the 2k range.

I’m coming from portable audio and I’ve got the LHS GeekOut V2A headphone DAC/Amp which is class A and sounds so good. It’s punchy, detailed and full bodied - by far the best portable source I’ve heard for dynamic drivers (not BAs).

@steakster Yes I’m struggling to figure out how to work through all the possible combinations of equipment I could possibly pair and how to sequence purchasing. I know people say you’ve got to go out and hear stuff but a) you can’t hear everything you’re interested in around you and b) that takes a lot of time. Or are you supposed to max out your card and order multiple amps and speakers and play around with that? Or just do your research and blind faith buy well regarded gear knowing that the system is going to be so much better than anything you’ve owned that you’ll probably be happy with it and if you’re not you can resell it? I’m leaning towards the latter, and leaning towards starting with Fritz speakers and building around that.

Then the question becomes how good of an amp do you need with the speakers to where you reach diminishing returns? 

The one thing I think I’ve got down is the Bluesound node 2i. Seems to be a unanimous choice for a budget streamer with a good enough DAC to get started.

Sorry for the tangent.

I'm hoping it's more of a one time purchase than a hobby - like purchasing the best washer/dryer for me :D. I want to get back to the hobby of music enjoyment. 

What about an affordable Class A power amp? I'm starting to be open to the idea of separate, maybe using the Schiit Saga as the pre. I know Schiit has a Class A power amp coming out soon for USD 800. 

@iopscrl What are your other components ?  What speakers ?  How much power do you need ?

I'm starting from scratch and eyeing speakers that are not that sensitive - only 85hz. So I don't think SET will work, will it?

@sleepwalker65 If you have gathered anything from this discussion thread, it should be that you have to audition the equipment you intend to buy.   Over the years,  i have heard great sounding Class A amps and some really expensive awful sounding ones.  While you compare the purchase to buying a washer dryer, I would suggest that you are making the mistake of  false equivalence.  one is purely functional the other a matter of entertainment and enjoyment.   Washers and Dryers don't activate endorphins  nor do they create harmonic effects or bring back memories.   Acquire  your equipment as an iterative and involved process.  Would you buy a car without test driving it?  A piece of art without seeing it?

I know you would ideally audition every combination of the gear you're interested in but 1) you would still need to narrow down the gear you're interested in through reviews and feedback and 2) auditioning say 5 speakers, amps and dacs at once and comparing every combination is difficult! 

So my plan is to build a system based on well reviewed cost effective components that technically at least should work well together. Hopefully that will be the case and I can enjoy it for years without regret, but if not, I can start to tweak it component by component. At least that's the plan.
