Plinius Hiato

Um, I think that's a really nice integrated. I'd suggest you look into your room acoustics if you haven't already. Contact GIK for great advice and products.

For the price of a new amp  you could get some serious improvements. :)

the X250.8 is awesome and will drive anything...way better than the Halo Integrated or the Hiato...way more expensive too, but a used one will hold it's value for a bunch of years...

The Hiato is also way better than the Halo integrated   Haven't heard the JC1

As a former Plinius dealer,completely wrong.The Plinius sounds great with the Martin Logans. 

The Plinius amps are very high current and that is the difference. They can easily drive very hard to handle loudspeakers.

They also compliment the tonal requirements beautifully as they are slightly warm sounding as well. 

We have a demo Hutonga and its 200 watt into 8 ohm will handle your speakers beautifully.

Troy,   What was your impression of the Hiato specifically?  I appreciate your first hand knowledge. Anything you can share would be very much appreciated.
