I did consider the ANV-50, yes... but by the time I was considering Sugden I was also hooked on the idea of pure Class A :) The ANV-50 is a different topology, using 2 amp stages actually. That being said, I’m sure it sounds incredible and I can see it’s very well regarded. There was also the...

Nothing? :)

Hello everybody, it’s been several years of happy listening since I posted in any hifi forums. I am now at a loss deciding for an upgrade and so I turn to you fine folks for some advice. My current setup consists of a pair of Dynaudio Focus 160 (incredible speakers, btw!) powered by a Roksan K3...
