Sugden Integrated IA-4 versus Ayre AX-7

I am considering a Sugden IA-4 to replace an Ayre AX-7 anyone any experience with both these amps?

Or even with the Sugden in general? I used to have a Sugden a21a before I went to the AX-7.

My source is an Oppo 105 and speakers Proac 2.5's.

Have you considered the new AX-5 from Ayre? It's getting a lot of great press and sounds really good...

I had the 2.5's. I can't imagine you not getting good results with the Ayre. One of my friends has a Sugden. The things a fire hazard. If you need a little more power than the Ayre, the BAT300 sounds great with the 2.5's.

I'd love the AX-5 but the price is out of my range and I do like the sound of my AX-7-I basically have an Ayre CX-7 that I no longer use and I have seen a Sugden at a decent price so I thought a system overhaul might be in order-I can get the Sugden on a deposit for a trial so I was interested in opinions.

Thanks for the replies so far.
