Plinius SA250 or Gamut D200

Hi Skipperrik,

What SS do you recommend a Gamut,Plinius(Class A) or something else I'm looking for balanced sound with a little warmth.

Thanks,
Satyam

plinius sa102

Now I use gamut d200 mk3 with meridian 508.24 and they sound fenomenal- better than others amplifiers like mccormack dna 1 dlx, AR vt100 mk2 that I use before.
the speakers are SF guarniere and the pre is BAT VK5i .

Satyam,

I could never find a solid state amp that matched the sound of tubes. The CJ was advertised as being close, and it was...just not very lively. In all fairness, it might mate well with the right equipment but the easiest route for me was to go with tubes.

As an alternate, you may want to consider the Butler A100, a hybrid tube/solid state amp. It is rated at 100/200 wpc at 8/4 ohms, and is in absolute control of every speaker I've heard it with. They figured out how to use a 300B tube DC coupled in the output stage with no output transformer. If your budget can handle it, I would definitely go that route. You can read the review at Six Moons or on the Butler site at http://www.butleraudio.com/main.html.

Good luck in your search.

Hi Skipperrik,

The butler is a interesting amp I checked the website and mailed them about the pricing, also I wanted to know if it would be able to drive a Dynaudio Confidence C5 which I plan to buy in the near future they are a rather diff load to power.

Thanks,
Satyam
