I have both the PL2 and Rotel products , specifficultly the 200w-5channel amp and their processor . The Rotel is now sitting idle as it was relegated to H/T use after moving to 2 channel in another room , then the H/T went away too . Both units have been trouble free . I used the Rotel for @ 3 years and have had the PL2 in use for a little longer .
If your primary use is 2 channel I would choose the PL2 . It is much more to my liking for music . More body and smoother sound . As above the Rotel can be a bit brash , I don't believe that you will have that problem with the PL2 .
The PL2 should be fine with the Klipsch speakers , a little ify with the ADS's depending on the loudness and room size and may be a bit troublesome with the Polk's .
One thing to remember about your two choices...SS is what it is meaning you are not able to change or fine tune the sound much if at all . Whereas , the tubed unit can change quite a bit with the ability to roll/change the various input and output tubes . You can call up the vendor , tell him what you would like to change and he (Upscale Audio) will suggest what tubes to change to and probably have them available for sale . And all of that is no more troublesome than unplugging the old tube and plugging in the new tube . The unit is self/auto biasing...you never have to mess with it . The down side to tubes is that you need to let them warm up to sound their best as leaving the unit powered up continuesley will wear out the tubes prematurely . The SS unit can be left on and be ready to go always .
Good luck .
