Is there any unbeatable class A SS integrated amplifier under 15K?

Thanks!

Nobody talks about the Esoteric F-03A but I’m an owner. Seems like Robert Harley is the only reviver and article as below

I’ve chosen this amp over Lux590 & E-650 driving a pair of TAD ME1 in a small room. Very fine and detailed musical amp thats built like a tank. I moved from an E-450 and its quite a jump since I’m hearing a lot more details and the instrument texture/decay is a lot smoother.

Give it a listen if its possible
Why specify Class A?If you live in a hot climate they are a pain.
The Bakoons are Class A/B and sound better than any Class A I have heard.
If you like tubes and have efficient speakers, then take a look at Viva Solistino  IA. This IA has 18W pure class A, it's a very fine piece.
Thank you, I’m learning a lot!

Is there any of these SS amps that sounds close to a 2a3 tube amp?
I have a small room, high sensitive speakers and I like low volume.
The tubes are banned until my daughter grows up. :___)

Probably a used Pass Labs Cl;ass-A Aleph, but they are room heaters.
