For Plinius and Muse, the recommendation is easy: Merlin VSM-SEs. Merlin shows with Muse digital electronics at the audio shows, and Merlin's designer recommends Plinius amps for those that must solid-state. The Merlins stomp all over the Dunlavy SC-IIIs; the SC-IVA's might be a better comparison.

Agree with Paullindemann that Thiels work great with Plinius amps.

I'm using the plinius sa 100 mk3 on a pair of apogee stages. They have the command and authority I was missing from the BEL 1001 mk3. I found the plinius a bit dry, lean egdy and analytical however nicely detailed and very balanced throughout the spectrum. I recently purchased a Bel Canto SEP 1 which gives warmth and richness to the sound.
