Sugden masterclass mpa-4 power amplifier

[Paul]

Hi Folks, Just wondering if anyone has experience with this beauty. Any input would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.


*The Sugden Masterclass MPA-4 Class ‘A’ Symmetrical Balanced Mono Power Amplifiers have been developed to present a holographic three dimensional soundstage where the listener can almost walk in and touch the musicians.Tremendous headroom is available in which to develop a wonderfully dynamic portrayal of music in all of its moods.

The MPA-4 has facilities for asymmetric (Phono/RCA) or balanced inputs (XLR); the latter utilising a virtual transformer (discreet) balanced input circuit.The power amplifiers are symmetrical, current feedback, DC-coupled, gain stages with servo controlled DC off-set and multi emitter output devices.

In the balanced mono amplifiers the two power output stages of the stereo power amplifier are connected in balanced mode giving a mono amplifier.The mono power amplifiers give single channel power twice that of the stereo power amplifier.

Among some of the gains of the balanced configuration are a much lower noise floor, even greater dynamics and a rock solid musical sound stage.

Facilities:

Inputs – Mono Balanced.

Outputs – Single pair multi way locking binding posts.

Specifications:

Input Sensitivity – 1 Volt for full output.

Power Output – 165 watts into 8 ohms both channels working.

Frequency Response – 15Hz to 30 kHz +/-0dB.

Bandwidth – 2Hz to 200kHz -3dB points.

Signal to Noise – >85dB.

Nett Weight – 50kg (25kg each).

Overall Dimensions (including terminals) – 250mm x 430mm x 360mm (HWD) by two amplifiers.

not sure about these amps except 2 things . proac speakers which are sold in 50 countries , the makers love using sugden with proac . and also sugden have a superb reputation for back up service . i hear a lot of good things about them sonically too

Have not heard these but do like the Sudgen amps I have heard. The sound is typically full and musical.
