Not even heard of it.
You might be better off looking at the Denon PMA SA1 - extremely highly rated in the OS press and some demo ones available at good prices. More powerful at 50w into 8 ohms, too

Actually, Joel, it's the speakers you should be thinking of upgrading. Sonus Faber Cremona Ms or Opera Callas spring to mind.
Not even heard of a Sugden Masterclass! Only one of the best amps made in the UK, IMO of course. I don't know the Denon you mention but I doubt very much it will come close to the lovely sound of a Sugden Masterclass.

I,ve heard the ia4 masterclass, i think it was, only about 30watts of power but sounded fantastic on the end of b&w 804 speakers, could pull a tank out of a coalmine. Quite pricey mind at £3500.00 i think.

I wouldn't think Joel would gain much by changing amps. The one he has is easily capable of driving better speakers than the Kudos. That's not to say the Kudos are less than excellent, only that there are better available, especially if he has that much to spend.

Funnily enough I recently auditioned the Opera Grand Callas and found them awful. Mid audition I asked them to change them as they were way way too shrill (using Unico CDE, Unico pre & power, and then with the P70 valve amp too). Horrid.
Was pleased to get home to my Kudos which I love. They will sound even better when I move house and don't have to have them in the corners of my room too. No plans to change them, a very pleasing sound in all senses. They've won a couple of big groups tests in another mag and I know why.

Then try the some other speakers. There's not a lot of point in changing the electronics, if any.
On the other hand, if you're happy with the sound, why change anything?

Always enjoy a little bit of change.

Would a HiFi setup sound better than a home cinema setup for music?
