Hi Leog2010. I have heard excellent things about Clayton Audio...and when i look back over 20 years, my favorite SS amps are: Forte 4, Krell FPB600, Boulder 2060, Gryphon Antileon and Gryphon Colosseum. All of them are Class A amps. This is nothing more than a personal observation about what i've liked over the years. Claytons fit this bill, but i've not heard them.
If you ever get a chance to hear any of the above, i think you'll find a purity of sound combined with an endless reserve of power (ok...the Forte 4 will not be endless, but for 50 watts...its incredibly powerful sounding).
If you are comfortable on the reliability of Clayton (i have never investigated this...just saying, since they're not Krell or Boulder or Gryphon who are super-commercially well known.)...then i would go for it.
