???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard???

I'm sure there are some good integrateds out there and they can be space-savers but your options will be limited unless it has preamp outputs and power amp ins.

Ever since I sold my venerable tube separates i’ve been searching for a "least expensive" or at least moderately -priced ’endgame’ (that’s a rather awful term IMO)

After trying various components, too many to mention, I’m now thinking Accuphase Class A integrated but it’s hardly the "least expensive" option.  Synthesis A40 was a contender but I found it much too forward sounding in my modestly-sized room.  Conrad Johnson is still in the running but I'm trying to get off the "tube roller coaster."

So many choices, all it takes is patience, curiosity, a priori reality,  and money.

The best for price ratio/S.Q.  is without doubt for me the Sansui of the alpha series...

Here is one you should highly consider, the new "Unico Primo" made in Italy, has one tube with a Mosfet output stage and is being raved about. Retails for around $1,500.00.
