amp preference...Plinius or Pass labs


Greetings- Thanks to everyone who replied to my previous post- very informative answers- Basically I am writing to ask opinions/preference on the following amps- I am debating either the Plinius SA 100 MKIII and the Pass Labs x250- they will power a set of Vienna Acoustics Beethoven- preamp is an integrated Arcam AVR100 - Ive heard the Pass labs amp on the Viennas and love the clean, musical sound- just wondering how the plinius is likely to compare

I have found the pass labs to have the best sonics of any solid state amp I have heard. Dead quiet, ultra clean sound without the solid state jaggies.

I have heard the monster plinius amp and came away thinking it reminded me a little of a krell amp. Very powerful detailed, but also VERY solid state in sound. Some people with good hearing, and good opions, prefer that sound.
