Recommendation for Class-A integrated amp

Sugden Signature A21se was indeed on top of my list of amps to consider until I discovered the cost now is $3750 from the dealer covers my area, a $500 jump from the 2020 price, then I decided to look at other possibilities.

Luxman or Pass appears to be more capable in the lower impedance (4 ohm) region, although more costly, but appear to be a better selection.

Meanwhile, I am still hoping to check out other amps that is capable to provide 20-30W per channel of class-A output.

I have heard a lot of plausible hype from Coda folks. I nearly went that route but decided Pass had resale and Coda? Well probably not so much.

Luxman is out in my opinion. 

Compared Sudgen to Pass. No comparison-Pass much better.

Some nice Nazi gear out there. I prefer my service in the USA.

Buy a used Pass for about $5k if you can find one. 

Stereo 5 we had the 30watt class A lixman and the csib sounded better so who cares about tone controls?
