Conrad Johnson Premier 350 ss vs Premier 140 tube


Anyone compare these two amps? I have an MF2500a and I am considering upgrading to one or the other. I am driving Thiel 3.6's and also considering a pair of 7.2's. So I need to look down the road a bit when making this decision; any thoughts? My pre-amp is a CJ Premier 16lsII with an SCD-1 front end and Audioquest Volcano and Anaconda interconnects.

Thanks in advance

As far as i know Premier 350 inhibits that infamous suckout in low/mid-upper/bass that plagues 2500a.Actually,that comes with bipolars.I personally prefer mosfets.I had 2 2500as in biamp configuration but was never happy.If it was my choice,i would go for the 140.Btw,350 looks almost identical to 2500a which i think is too boring.My advice:go for 140 or better off try getting early to mid 90s Premier tube amps.I would even take Evolution 2000 over 350.But of course your taste might be different.
