**Nope. They only built high bias Class A/B amps. The first Sugden I ever
saw was about 40 Watts/channel.

This one was 25 watts a channel. IIRC, their original design.

It ran bloody hot and people all said it was Class A. I didn't believe
it, so I tested one at 5 Watts Class A. Substantial, but not Class A.
About 100 times more Class A than most amps of the time. It was still
Class A/B though.

My mate reckoned he had measured it and it consumed slightly more current
in a quiescent state than at full output. But I can't check up with him as
he's no longer with us.
