Recommendation for Class-A integrated amp


I am looking for a SS Class-A integrated amp that is in 20 to 40W range, the short list I have so far are:

Sugden A21SE
Pass INT25
Luxman L-590AXII

Are there more you would recommend to check into?

TIA for any inputs.

The Sugden Signature A21se is an awesome amp. It lacks the bells and whistles of the others, but sounds heavenly. Besides, it is the original class A solid state amp, the one that started it all back in 1967. At $3250, it’s a bargain. 30 watts into 8 ohms/40 watts into 4 ohms, plus a larger power supply. If you can’t forgo the pretty VU meters, then buy a seperate VU meter such as the One little bear & Douk Audio, model vu1, off of eBay. It’s a great little VU meter for 50 bucks....you don't even have to wire it in, as it has a built in microphone, pretty neat.
