Sugden a21 question....


Hello,
I need a little help as a relative novice. I just bought Gallo Reference III speakers (which I love by the way) and am now looking into a new integrated amp. The Sugden a21 is very intriguing to me, but I wonder if the 25 watts of class A power is enough to drive my 88db speakers. Any information would be very appreciated.
Thanks.

I power two Soliloquy 5.3is with the Sugden integrated AMP. I get up to about 40% on the dial and it fills the house with sound (2100 square feet). My Denon A/V receiver at 70 watts per channel cant even come close. Class A is a whole different ballgame.

However, the Gallos require more power than Soliloquys without a doubt. The sensitivity rating cannot guide you well. You will have to pair them and see.
My Sugden A21a drive a Proac Tab.Ref.8 Sig.Speaker. Into 8 ohms 86 db. in the room about 35 square meter. That use about 9 o'clock of volume knob.That no problem of power for normal listening. I love this sweet amp. You may try to listen with your speaker.For the best answer.
I use the a21ap to drive my VR3s (93db) and it drives my speakers as sweet as can be, but I really can't turn the volume up higher than about 6 o'clock. I don't think 88db will be a problem for that amp, it punches like its a heavy weight. Try the combo and see what happens...
Sugden a21se here, 30 watts into 8 ohms, 40 into 4 ohms. Driving my 89 - 90 db tannoys just fine. I am seemingly never at a deficit when it comes to volume. The tannoys however sound great even at lower volume, so I don't find the need to play them to loudly, but when needed or wanted, the sugden is just fine. Class A is different, I'm a believer now that I own one. $3250 for the a21se, best money I've spent thus far aside from going with tannoys.
