I've listened to both the aforementioned integrateds extensively with a pair of B&W 803's. I never did get very involved in the Krell's sound...way too bright for the setup it was in, and it didn't seem to have either the bass slam or the PRaT I was looking for. The Plinius, however, delivered both, with a "magic" that I would reserve only for tubes. Great, great integrated. Now it's permanently in the system. Cheers!
