plinius integrateds


Have you had a chance to a/b the Plinius 8100 with the 8200? The 8200 has more features but some seem to like the sound of the 8100 better. What do you think? Is the 8200 better in every way or does the 8100 have some advantages? Excluding price and features, which sounds better. Thanks

I have them side by side for one month now. I can't tell any difference between them. I am using Virgos and Khorus.
I think if your speakers are not efficient then you need the 8200 for more power( and phono), otherwise 8100 will do.
BTW, both of them sound wonderful. I had owned Classe CAP150, Creek 5350SE, Krell 300i and Musical Fidelity A300 and M3. Plinius beats them all except M3 has better transparency. 8100 and 8200 are very musical.
