???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..

End game for me means last amplifier I could afford, that would be the Engström Arne.

Hope to get there one day.

Easy question... my Pass Labs First Watt J2, which makes my Cube Audio Jazzon speakers sing. It has the euphonic sound of a tube amp.  

@pindac ,yep,every reply,although I'm a little disappointed that the majority of choices are no where near inexpensive..
 I was hoping to see that folks were finding affordable amps had gotten so good these days they could get off the merry go round without spending an arm & a leg to do it..This thread killed that thought pretty quickly...
