???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..

@taheeti, I hope that 225 lasts longer than my Job Integrated.  It blew a MofFet a year ago, and I can’t find anybody locally to repair it.  One of my biggest Audio disappointments:(

The very best sound quality is from single-ended amps. But they typically have too low power output for most speakers. The next best sound is Benchmark AHB2. 

Here's my review:

BMC CS3 from Germany. 8,000 Euros. The catch is it must be paired with another BMC dac or source.
