Plinius vs. McCormack


I have a pair of B&W speakers-CDM 9NTs. I'm looking at either the Plinius 8200P amp with a Plinius CD LAD preamp or a McCormack DNA225 amp with a McCormack RLD1 preamp. Any thoughts?

No doubt the plinius combo will be the ticket McCormick
is more or less like adcom not bad but sure not in the same class as Plinius.
If you've got good dealers you should try to demo both the Plinius and McCormack equipment at home, which would give you a clear picture of how they work in the context of your system and room and, just as importantly, which works best given your individual tastes/preferences. Any decent dealer should allow you to do demo equipment at home, especially at this level.

I'll just say that I disagree with Mgminc's assertion above that McCormack is "more or less like Adcom" and leave it at that. The only thing I'll add is that many people who own B&Ws seem to speak highly of Classe electronics, so there may be some synergy happening there that might also be worth exploring. Best of luck.

Mgminc, you'd better duck and run! When the McCormack owners read this, you're gonna be toast!
Ahh, Twl. C'mon now. Mgminc is just as entitled as the next guy to be wrong. I'm not going to say it, but if I did say Mgminc doesn't know what he speaketh, I'd know I'd be right, because otherwise I'd change my opinion. :)
