I have recently sold my B60 to a friend. My search for a new integrated is down to the Plinius 9200 or YBA Passion. My system consists of Dunlavy SClll speakers(91db) and a Marantz SA-14 cd player. The added cost of the YBA,around $1000 more, is not critical. I'm looking for long term enjoyment and completing this small system. The room is 12x17, and music choices are all over the board. I give thanks to any and all inputs but ask not to give me more choices-it will be one or the other.
If anybody is curious, which doesn't seem too likely judging by the amount of input that I received, I purchased the YBA. Two different salespeople both felt the YBA was the better amp, which was quite convincing seeing that they sold the Plinius and not the YBA. Thanks anyway, Attila Simon
I own a older Plinius 8150. Its the predecessor of the 9200. The sound is a peach, being light and airy. I have heard the 9200 and it has the same sound. The only gripe is the phono output is not much chop on low output mc cartridges.
