???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..

I have several amps and even more speakers in various rooms. Objectively I know which performs best overall. But subjectively, they each sound really good but different and I happily spend a good amount of time with each, depending mostly on mood. Variety is the spice of life for sure!

An integrated amp under $4K? I would get the Musical Fidelity M6si. It has gobs and gobs of power and that wondrous Musical Fidelity sound. Get a used one and use the savings to get a DAC.

I am optimistic that it is my recently purchased Aurorasound HFSA-01.

Rega Aethos integrated amp for me. I was blown away by the sound when I first heard it.
