???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard???

Pretty simple question..
While I’m sure the "No Such Thing" crowd will make sure they represent,I’m not interested in their rhetoric..
I am however,most interested to hear from those who have heard integrated amplifiers they could get off the merry go round with,ESPECIALLY if it was on the more budget end of cost..For myself it would have to be the Sugden A21SE but that was 2 years ago,before the cost climbed to $4000.00......
Thanks for participating..

Krell FPB 200, though like most class A gear, it will also heat your house during winter. It will go into thermal shut down int the summer.

For me it is Audio Research REF 75. Have it for about 6 years.

KT120 tubes have been replaced. Never looked back. 

Nice lush, well defined sound. Sufficient power.

Ayre Acoustics AX-5 Twenty.  Warm tube-like, detailed & excellent at low volume.

For me it's the Schiit Ragnarok 2 I currently own. I don't think I can afford to go up one level it might be MY end-game.

It does sound very good and gives a glimpse of real high-end amps. Upgrading would require me to upgrade the speakers also, probably looking äta combined cost of $10k or so.
