That is what it is all about. I am very happy for you. Many years of ownership I hope.
Thanks. Same to you with the Hegel - another brand I have not heard or owned but by reputation they are supposed to be superb.

Hi Robby....that would be my next move a sugden...how do you find it and yes a masterclass will be your next purchase HAHAHA!I started the year with a pair of Harbeth 30.1’s and Croft 25R/7 Pre/Power. Had a Rega P3 and Auralic Aries. I thought this was me finished on the Hi-Fi merry go round.
Then upgraditis struck.
The first to go was the Harbeths - sold those and bought a pair of Proac SM100’s. Amazing speakers - to my ears better by some margin than the Harbeth’s and a few months on still surprise me with how they produce music.
Whilst he Croft amps worked well with the Proacs I was itching to try a Sugden Amp with them. I bought a used A21a Series 2. Not looked back. The Sugden and Proac combination is stunning.
Bought an ex dem Project Classic - wife loved the look of it and so it stayed. I’m still not sure whether I like the sound of it yet but it is inoffensive and so will stay until something better tempts me that has a decent WAF.
Oh and I sold my Rega Fono stage and got a Graham Slee Revelation M. Very impressed.
Finally, I almost got a Hegel from Rick at Musicraft. Whilst I was waiting for one to come available I bought the Sugden - unless I move up higher up the Sugden line it’s not going anywhere.

There was a nice masterclass on eBay....wonder if it's still for sale?Yup I love sugdens. Never owned one but each time I hear one I think 'why not'?
Amp/speaker synergy as a concept comes and goes in HiFi fashion, but proac/sugden never, ever goes out of fashion.
Am also happy to admit that, whilst the 21 is a fine amp, the masterclass is something astonishing, worldclass and lovely. Like Quad electrostatics, every audiophool should own a masterclass at some point.
