Class A amplifiers - which are considered the best


I have heard Accuphase makes the highest quality pure class A amplifiers. Wanted to get some feedback on folks experience with their amps and any other amp manufacturers that would be in their league (or better) for class a amps. thanks

Mark Levinson ML-2 bridged, is a 100W class A amplifier into an 8 Ohms. I have used these amp to drive my Infinity IRS V's for 36years. The sound is magnificent.
A Sumo Nine amplifier rebuilt by Mike Bettinger of GASAudio.net gets my vote. A very nice sounding Class A amplifier that won't break the bank.
If you can find one in good condition...then I would say the original Krell KSA50.
Hard to think of another Pure Class A amp that is significantly better than Dan's original design, just IMHO.
If we included a classic class A amp in the 80's/90's..

***** THRESHOLD 4000 ***** 200 WATTS CLASS A
I also have Mark Levinson No20's bridged. They output 400W into 8 Ohms, 800 Watts into 4 Ohms or 1,250 Watts into 2 Ohms. At 2 Ohms that is continuous sine wave power. These to sound magnificent on Infinity IRS V's.
