I've got sensitive speakers,built for low output Valve Amps,but am not too keen on going the valve route.I often have short listening sessions(fitting in around the kids TV
watching),so I do'nt want to be turning the amps on and off every few minutes.How about a good Class A solid state power amp?I would like the valve warmth and rich mid range without the fuss.Too much to ask?
I thought of the Monarchy Audio 70 Pro's,Sugden Masterclass or of course the grandaddy Krell's.
What is your experience? I do'nt mind going for 2nd hand, older models,in fact most of my system is 2nd hand.
Your advise would be very welcome.

Macrojack, because the thread asked for amps that run in pure class A.

Macrojack, the thread asked for power amplifiers not integrated amplifiers. I'm not qualified to challange Jeff Rowlands assertion that the Concentra is true Class A. Let just say it's a novel approach. With regards to why limit recommendations to Class A out put, I'm just trying to respect the question as put forward. Other wise I think Rowland is a very good suggestion.
