The "go to" in this category are the first Watt amps from passhttp://www.firstwatt.com/prod.html
And of course Ayre, which are even more expensive.
This one looks interesting though I never heard of it
http://www.highendcity.com/the-end-millennium-power-amplifier-stereo/ available as kit as well.Son of Zen, a pass design, is also a candidate.
The regular class A (XA) Pass amps use low feedback, Most of the heavier Threshold amps and most Fosgate/Haffler/strickland (audionics) designs can have their bias upped to high bias class A but you need to have a fan added. They are reputed to not use as much feedback as most others.
The David Reich amps from Classe used moderate feedback and operated at rather high bias into class A the DR 3 and DR3 VHC are worth restoring.
Project Sphinx amps from Europe qualify,but are all old and should be recapped before use.
