What luck to hear from someone with experience of all three. Thanks for the suggestion on speakers. I will probably take you suggestion when the budget allows. Ats
I would go tubes with your b&ws, and probably would upgrade your speaks before plunking 2500 on an integrated.
The Plinius would probably work best, as the Sim is a brighter piece to go with B&Ws. I'm not a Musical Fidelity fan at all. The Classe integrateds go pretty well as to the MCs with B&W. And of course, some swear by Krell & B&W.
Another consideration is the Plinius 8200 Mk II, which is a significant step up from the 8200 Mk I (if you can get by with 100w/ch instead of 175/ch, a used Plinius 8100 is a great buy). Good luck.
What about the Krell KAV-300il? I just bought one and think it's really superb, certainly for the money. I've also read many accounts of the synergy between Krell and B&W, though I can't vouch for it myself.
