1k used Integrated amp- Plinius?



I'm looking to spend 1k (used) on an integrated SS amp for my PSB Stratus Mini speakers. I listen to mostly rock, alternative, some rap and other popular styles of music. Not a big fan of classical and female vocals only consists of about 5% of my music collection. Also, Im in a small bedroom so I listen to music veeery low so I need an amp that sounds good at low volumes.

After some research the best I came up with so far is a Plinius 8150 or 8200. Im open to any comments regarding these amps, or if theres a better choice out there for me.

Thank you,

I like the Plinius line and have owned several. For your use I agree it’s a good choice. There is always someone that’s going to suggest other brands; the problem is trying to locate them in order to audition to really hear what they sound like. Good luck with your quest.

I am sure the Exposure would compete with the Plinius

fwiw the Plinius 8150 is know to be 'musical' and has a full/warm quality which may be nice at low volume to fill out the bass

I forgot to mentioned that my speakers are 86db and 4ohm so I need 150+ watts.

I owned the Plinius 8200 mkII and agree with Philjolet's assessment. A good integrated at that price point that would sound decent at low volumes.
