need your help on this one.....


any one have any experience with the pass line, and the plinius line.  
trying to decide between the a250.8 or the a350.8, if there is any real difference in them.  also going from the .5 line to the .8 line
and the same for the plinius, the sa100 for the sa 301.  is it worth it to go that far up in class, for the extra wattage.  and last the difference and better of the two would be very helpful.......thank you in advance.  I hope I explained myself, meds kicking in..........

Not to muddy the waters, but there are Clayton M300 monoblocks for sale on US Audio Mart that would also be worth a look.  Read reviews if you haven't seen them already.  Best of luck.
I agree with poster "seasoned" that Plinius have to be left on all of the time to sound their best.  Plinius SA 102 was the best ss amp I've owned, but I'm a tube guy and my exposure to ss amps is limited.

Based upon feedback from others on this chain and your preferences, it sounds like a Pass X250 or 350 series amp is the most sensible path forward for you.
pdreher    I'm beginning to agree with your straw poll....i don't want an amp that I cant turn off or runs the elec bill up....   and soix ill look into those clayton's not a mono block guy thought......
Question for Plinius owners who say amps need a long time to warm up:  Can you leave it on in Class A/B mode and not have to wait so long to reach optimal sound in Class A?
Soix... yes, I left my Plinius on 24/7 and toggled over to the more energy efficient class AB when not listening, then back over to class A for listening sessions.  I think most ss amps and ss audio equipment in general sounds best when left on 24/7.
