Anyone compare Lavardin with Sugden?

I am moving to a small apartment.
I will probably have Audio Note AN-J speakers in the corners, and a Rega Saturn CDP. I need a good integrated. Sugden A21SE or Lavardin IS Reference have come to the top of my list as a result of my reading. Has anyone compared these or can anyone offer some advice.
Room is 15 x 11. My music is all acoustic, mostly female vocal, no orchestras, no rock or heavy sounds.
Thanks

Hi Eril,

A Lavardin Is ref owner told me that he had the Sugden at home next to the IS Ref. The Sugden was no competitor for the Is Ref. He returned the Sugden imediately. It was, compared to the IS Ref, dull, slow and not open.
I am also going to by a Lavardin. It will be the latest IT. I am a tube owner ( Graaf GM200 en 13.5II) and the Lavardin is the only non tube amp that I like.
