Will the Plinius 8200 Mk1 fit my needs?


Given that I listen everything from jazz to folk to electronic to metal, how would a Plinius 8200 work? I haven't decided on the speakers yet, but I'm leaning toward Dynaudio or System Audio. I like an open sound, with plenty of imaging, soundstage & dynamics... percussion is important to me! Any other recommendations for electronics that might suit my tastes? I'm trying to stay under about $1500. Thanks for the input.

Quicksilver m 60's, if you can find them. Plinius is very nice but may be too bright (& out of your price range)for average (rock, jazz & folk)production CDs. You'll probably end up not enjoying your CDs anymore. Vandersteen 2ces might be forgiving enough to let you enjoy the music. Good luck
On the contrary, I had the Plinius 8200 and it isn't bright.If the Plinius sounds bright, then look elsewhere in the chain. I would search the threads under Dynaudio and see what amps some of the owners are/were using. I just sold my Plinius 8200 to a Proac speaker owner and he says they are a great match. He previously had a Krell integrated and it made his Proacs sound bright and sizzley.System matching is so important to get what your ears like.Plus the Plinius has 175W and lots of dynamic headroom for those Rock & Roll CD's.Try to audition in your home from a local dealer if you can.
I have a Plinius 8200 that I have had in my system for awhile. It is very strong amp for the money. I think it is good for all types of music. It has powered my Nautilus 804's for 2 years very well. I think you will really like Nothing else this good with this many amps on the market. Itwas 3k new I paid $1900. I am thinking of going home theatre so I might be selling mine. But my reccomandation is not for that reason. Whether you buy from me or not it is a great amp for the money
