845 SET vs Sugden Class A Amp with Avantgardes

Does anyone have first-hand experience with Sugden amps and big SETs?

I'm presently using Consonance Cyber 845 monobloc amps rated at 28 watts. They are more than powerful enough to seriously upset my neighbours when fed to my Avantgarde 102 dB efficiency speakers.

I'm thinking of switching to solid state and the new Sugden Masterclass FPA-4 power amp has been recommended. It's rated at 25 watts, pure Class A, so should be comparable in power terms with my present amp.

Many here have suggested that if I want to switch to SS without disappointment, I should go Class A. Sugden only do Class A, enjoy a good reputation, have been around for eons and build their kit very substantially.

Can anyone offer me encouragement or otherwise? Any descriptions of what sort of sound I should expect to hear appreciated.

Thanks

Peter
