Good Integrated for cheap Krell or Plinius?

I owned a plinius 8150 and have heard the Krell 300i which I compared to a Sim I-5 I owned at the time. Just my opinion, but I was not at all impressed with the Krell. I loved my Sim, and the reason I sold the plinius was due to my wanting to do something with tubes. Good luck whatever you decide.

Better? Better is not the issue - Which do YOU like?

There is a YBA Integre for sale on the 'gon. Brand spanking new. I owned one for 7 years before I moved up to the Passion. 50 of the best, sweetest, most dynamic watts out there. Check it out. If you've got the $$ you can always go for the Passion. The Krell and Plinius will have trouble going one round with the Passion. The Integre? It'll be a fight. Probably wind up as a decision. Yours! peace, warren

unfortunately, I dont have the ability to demo much hardware as I live way out in the woods and the local dealers push crap for the most part. good speakers to demo, but nothing for good componants other than B&K, and all of the stuff they carry is multi-channel surround garbage.

thanks for the suggestions folks...appreciated.
