Amps from New Zealand
Just some news from down under. Most of you are familiar with Plinius amps and I see that they generally get great raps on Audiogon. Interestingly, their new SB300 is a class AB amp and it got a great review on the Audioenz website, withe reviewer claiming it to be the best Plinius he has heard so far.
Another New Zealand company, Perreaux produces some really good amps. I have experience with the 200P and 350P (and the SM6 reference preamp), having owned both and found that they are both capable of driving my Nautilus 802's. Today, I had the first listen to their 750P monoblocks. These were recently shown in New York. Anyone looking for a real grunty pair of monoblocks must audition these. With Sanibel Sound dealing with Perreaux products in the USA, it shouldn't be impossible. Ignore them at your peril.
