Uhhh Sugden? Seems you already know the answer. It is only $3250 new, so not exorbitantly expensive. Why keep looking when you know already.
Soft, smooth organic SS integrated amps?
Aside from the Sugden A21 series, what other more "budget" solid state amps (under $2K new or used) in your experience with at least 25 wpc manufactured within 20 years offer a really smooth, organic sound? I don't want to go the tubes route again. I'm thinking Heed, Arcam (at least the older, pre class G era)? What else in your experience?
