Class A amplifiers - which are considered the best

For high powered Class A amps I would go with various Clayton models. If you have high efficiency speakers the Coincidence Technology Frankenstein 8 watt/channel Class A amps are impossible to beat. Played with a number of Coincidences own speakers (such as the Pure Reference, Pure Reference Extreme's, & the Total Victory V's), the sound produced is exquisite.

Audiopax Maggiores - 100W - Class A - SET (my pair arrives this weekend).

Plinius SA-103, SA-Reference

Anyone have experience with those two?

The amps run in AB mode but can be switched to Class A at the flick of a switch. Plinius claims this allows the amps to be powered ON all the time. You just flick it to A before listening. And after a period where there's no input signal, it switches back to AB.

Sounds neat.

Pass XA gets so much overwhelming love here I will give my +1 to Luxman. I replaced a Pass XA-30.5 with a Luxman M-600a and haven't looked back. Similar, but better all around for me. Like the sound, the build quality and craftsmanship is also more refined.

Have not heard a lot of those mentioned but heard and bought the Wyetech 211 M and have not heard the like but am open to.
