Class A Integrated amps

I am currently running a class A Fisher 800 C receiver and a Pair

of Large Advents.  Very happy with this set up but feel I am missing out.

I am planning to up grade with Marantz integrated amp and Klipsch forte lll or lV.  
Cant seem to find info on Marantz equipment that says they are class A.  
also not sure if I should concentrate on a 7.2 Channel a for surround sound. I really just like to immerse in good fidelity with music and a glass of wine.

You are seeking to put racing fuel into an AMC Gremlin. Ditch the Advent speakers and make your following decisions accordingly.

+2 Sugden A21SE.  But then I do not know your endgame.  It's an overwhelming performer for Advent speakers, probably sold that model of Advent in the day.  Great performers.....for the day.  Any receiver would drive them and be musical.

The Sugden opens the door to a myriad of quality loudspeakers as it will drive most anything with aplomb.  I still own the older version and know its sound and capabilities.  I've run it with a JL subwoofer and Merlins.  It is so immediate with reproduction.  Versatile, F1 quick and nimble.  Have fun.  Cheers

I have the Sugden A21 (with phono stage) and it's a great integrated. I'm not sure if the A21SE comes with a phono stage. Anyway, both are fantastic and will last years and years. Let us know on what you decide.
