plinius pre with ayre amps?

i have seen the soundstage review of the sa-102 with the ayre k-1x and it reads as nothing short of amazing...but what about the plinius m16 with a v-1 or 5x? i'm curious because i would love to have a sa-102, but the heat it generates makes it imposible i light of my son's prying hands and the cabinet enclosure they require. i have an 8200p amp because i love the combo of dynaudio (i have the contour 2.8's) and plinus and think the m-16 may be the key to the kingdom! BUT, sout love to try a balanced amp and hte ayre would foot the bill with the plinius supplying the delicious dynaudio synergy i've found with the plinius? who knows?

Bud, I'm running the V-5x with a Pass Aleph P using Luminous Audio Synchestra Sigs w/XLR's to take advantage of the balanced circuitry.

When I was searching for the Ayre I had to buy a V-5 & have it upgraded to x status, which isn't a bad thing as the unit gets looked over during the upgrade. Also, the people at Ayre were very helpful & great to work with.

My gear sits in an older wood cabinet w/glass doors with only the back open & heat is a non issue.
