No Customizable Schitt: Understandable But Upsetting

This (truly?) Class A amp, designed and built in the US and so dang affordable https://www.stereophile.com/content/schiit-audio-aegir-power-amplifier , would have been absolutely perfect for my 90db SPL/w/m center speaker, if when in bridged mode it delivered only ~ 40 watts, for what would probably be a lot less power draw and heat. I asked that smart ass Schiit chatbot if Schiit might offer to customize the Aegir 2 or any of their Class A amps, but no. Can anyone therefore recommend another very low power Class A amp center channel amp alternativr-or some brand who offers customizable Class A amps? But please don't say First Watt because my 25 wpc/8 ohm F4 amp draws 180 w.

Any truly Class A amp will draw a lot of power versus what it puts out to the speaker. It is the nature of Class A.

My Pioneer M-22 class A is 30 WPC and pulls 260 watts. It can heat my unheated basement to 80 F in winter.

My 30 watt Pass XA30.8 pulls 400 watts.

The M-22 is considered a push-pull class A design. Very classic.
