YBA Passion vs YBA integre dt integrated????


I'm considering a new amp to push my JM Lab Micro Utopias. I heard YBA matches very well with JM Lab product. I heard at CES the demo of their new Utopia's was done with the Passion integrated amp. This speaks alot to their confidence in this product. Is it worth the difference in price or is the smaller integrated adequate? How do the YBA integrateds compare to the Plinius 8200 integrated?

I agree that the Micro Utopias are completely different than the Cobalts. I must say that the thing that impressed me the most was that JM Labs chose the YBA Passion Integated to launch their new Utopia series at CES. You know they are going to want to give it their best shot and they chose this amp. Right after I hear this Stereophile gives it glowing remarks. It sounds like a winner! Any comments on how it compares to the Plinius? I haven't heard it set up yet, but that will be my next step. Thanks for your comments.
You are going to be very happy with that baby. Good luck and happy listening. warren
WOW! I hooked up and have burned in the Passion amp. It sounds fantastic! It's got about 30 hours on it, but it sounds great. The midrange isn't quite as strong as my Cary tubes, but the whole experiance is fantastic. It's what the music was meant to be.
