Maybe they call Sugden the poor man's Krell because you can get a pure Class A amplifier for $2k. I not sure what Krell's class A is running but it has to be several times that. I don't know why you like Bryston but not Krell, they are fairly similar, except krell is better. In my biased opinion.

I wish someone around here carried AN or Sugden. I'd love to hear them. You have to admit though they are both unique in the market. I don't understand why stores wouldn't jump on AN, an efficient speaker that actually sounds good. That would be a first for me.
