What Class A is better? SUGDEN FPA-4 or PASS LABS XA-25


I`d like experiences of the gurus.

Thanks

I heard a Sugden a few years ago driving a pair of Harbeths 30.1 and it was a match made in heaven.  I have heard the Pass 30.8 but not the xa25.  The 30.8 is tough to beat if you have the rack room, a strong back and need a large space heater.  The Pass xa25 solves all the negatives I have listed with the .8 series and Teajay's review is more and favorible. Btw I am in the market for a low power amp and the xa25 and the Linear Tube Audio ZOTL40 are my top 2 choices.
