The Plinius is a brute of an amp, but really lacks the finesse on the top end. And sounds better than the Mcintosh ma5200?? To each his own, but that Mcintosh has killer sound all the way up the scale where the Plinius may present nice bass but on the upper end it is pretty edgy, especially with those speakers. Heard them both at a local shop and, at least for me, it was an easy choice on SQ. And, as someone else said, that Mac doesn't use autoformers.
SS Integrated Amplifier that would sound good with the PSB Synchrony One B
Sorry about my poor English.
A couple of weeks ago I bought a brand new (old stock) PSB Synchrony One B speakers.
Great sound with the Luxman L-590AX that I borrowed from my friend but of course I cannot afford one.
So far I am using NAD C326 Int.Amp. Standard NAD house sound. Nice dynamics but confused highs.
Any suggestions on the SS Integrated amplifier. The maximum budget is $4000.00. Listening room is 17'x12'x8'. Very moderate listening levels. Such a posting already exists (by Djengan). The Rega Elicit-R would be one of the options but i heard from the people who are familiar with the Rega electronics, that particular model lately have issues with the humming transformers. Thank you in advance on your opinions.
