Plinius 8200 vs. 9100 -Which one?


I'm looking to buy a warm SS integrated amp and have wanted the Plinius for some time now, but never took the plunge. I'm looking at the lower end of their products or older discontinued.

Which is the better sounding amp of these two? The older higher powered 8200 or the newer lowered powered 9100 integrated? (I have 4 ohm, 87db speakers in a 18'-22' room in a lively minimalist room w/ hardwood floors.)

Furthermore, does someone know what is the difference between the 8200 mki vs. mkii, and is there a sonic difference?

Thanks fellow A'goners

Probably not what you want to hear, but I suggest you stick with your vintage Sansui.
I can tell you the difference between the 8200 and the 8100 were night and day. I would imagine the 8200 would actually still sound better than the newer 9100. I had the 8100 for several years and then the 8200 for several years after that.
