Klaus has also announced a new "Signature" edition for the monoblock with increased current and capacitance, and improved parts. You can check out the thread at: http://www.harmonicdiscord.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8608
You could get the new monoblocks for about $2600-2700 shipped.
I have heard your Plinius amp and I have the Stratos dual mono (single chassis equivalent of monoblocks), but they were in very different systems. I'm inclined to say that I'd love to have your amp, but would not pay 4X for it. That's a lot of music and the rest of my system doesn't warrant it!!
Where are you located? Perhaps you could find someone willing to bring over their Stratos. Harmonicdiscord.com has a pretty active Odyssey forum - you might be able to find someone there to help you out.
Also, give Klaus a call. He's a good guy and will give an honest opinion on your situation.
Good luck!
