  • MASTERCLASS IA-4

    Integrated amplifiers

    Sugden Audio MASTERCLASS IA-4

    An integrated amplifier with a large number of inputs, which is capable of delivering 33 watts with an impedance of 8 ohms and 40 watts if the impedance is 4 ohms.

  • ANV-50

    Integrated amplifiers

    Sugden Audio ANV-50

    The Sugden Masterclass ANV-50, the 50th anniversary model in the famous series, largely pays tribute to the company's first transistor amplifier, which hit the shelves 50 years ago.

  • A21SE

    Integrated amplifiers

    Sugden Audio A21SE

    J.E.Sugden flaunts the completely manual assembly of its devices (with one master assembling the device from and to the device) – and the Sugden A21SE amplifier is no exception. The output power is low, only 2 x 30 watts at 8 ohms or 2 x 48 watts at 4 ohms, but note that the amplifier operates in Class A. The frequency band is phenomenal – 6 Hz - 280 kHz.
