Hi guys, here is the rest of my story. I have the Krell KAV 2250 here at my place and guess what? I've decided to buy a Plinius. The Krell is crisper and more detailed indeed, but the Plinius sounds more musical to me. Altough the Krell isn't harsh, voices seem to be more synthetic. Plinius in my system gives a quiter and smoother image without loosing (too much) detail. So that is why I'll probably get a P8 or SA 201 Plinius power amp. The combination of Plinius, Audio Aero and B&W Nautilus is a very good one: it combines detail with 'warmth' and that's what I want...
