Plinius 8150i vs Bow Tech. ZZ1 and Wazoo


Gentlemen,seeking advice, and or opinions regarding these integrated amps. I'm putting a system together for a small (12x14) deticated listening room.At this point,I only have a new pair of Proac 1sc and a midfi Sony DVD/CD Player. I listen mostly to acoustic music, folk and some older rock. Plinius and Bow Tech. are not available in my area, but became very interested after seeing these pieces listed on Audiogon and reading reviews. THANKS in advance for your response!

I'd advise that for the Proac 1sc you are better off with a tube integrated or tube separates. With s/s the 1sc sounds a bit thin, lesser body compared to tubes. I've heard the 1sc with the Electrocompaniet gear which are very warm sounding, I also heard them with the 8150i.. No luck. Good matches: Unison Research S6, Anthem Pre1L and Amp1. Good luck.
