After trying Bryston 17b cubed with Bryston 4b cubed with my PMC twenty 5/26 and not really enjoying the sound I decided to go the Sugden route I purchased a Masterclass 1A4 integrated pure class A 33 watts/ channel and now I am in heaven Sugden has all the power I need to produce the soundstage the detail the base and balance the pmc is capable of making. I was thinking of purchasing another Masterclass for my Fact 8s but I am waiting for delivery of my Goldnote IS 1000 integrated built in dac streamer and gain adjustment if it doesn’t work out I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase another Sugden for my Facts.
I have the A21SE Sig., and think it sounds better than my Pass xa30.8, at least to my ears. I guess, to me, it sounds more tube like, more liquid and more three dimensional. Of course, the Pass has more power, and speaker pairing is more flexible, but the Sugden has more magic.
