sorry you became confused i’ve. no clue what caused it.
yes. I was seeking a competent great preforming INT in the $7500 MSRP range, more or less.
… and I chose one. see most recent posts above.
as for Sugden… I’m not a fan yet but have not heard the whole line either.. IMHO Rogue, Pass, and Raven would have surpassed Sugden as a pick anyhow had i not selected Bel Canto.
As the pairing of amp & spkrs is key in the minds of many audio hobbyists.Some superfulous and unnecessary input came via the item I never mentioned. With which speakers the prospective INT would supply?
Some posters chimed in on this segment avidly and made the point I was somehow putting the cart before the horse seeking the power plant without also indicating the speakers with which it would join..
nonsense. the speaker first camp takes their notion to far and too often.
staying away from scenarios which pose more critical unions and eyeing those INTs dishing out 150wpc or more seemed the prudent path for pairing with a wealth of possible combinations.
given a choice has been made, other offerings are now merely considerations for some others in this hunt or for a third system perhaps.
with all said and done, I concluded the next items to be pursued and listed them here, , please see above. sorry if this too was distracting.
thanks everyone for every contribution herein.
