Amps from New Zealand

Just some news from down under. Most of you are familiar with Plinius amps and I see that they generally get great raps on Audiogon. Interestingly, their new SB300 is a class AB amp and it got a great review on the Audioenz website, withe reviewer claiming it to be the best Plinius he has heard so far.

Another New Zealand company, Perreaux produces some really good amps. I have experience with the 200P and 350P (and the SM6 reference preamp), having owned both and found that they are both capable of driving my Nautilus 802's. Today, I had the first listen to their 750P monoblocks. These were recently shown in New York. Anyone looking for a real grunty pair of monoblocks must audition these. With Sanibel Sound dealing with Perreaux products in the USA, it shouldn't be impossible. Ignore them at your peril.

I was offered a Plinius SB300 in July/03, almost a year ago. I live in Spain and don´t consider "It has only just come out here in New Zealand"
Finally I bought a SA102, a horrible sounding class A amplifier that makes me very happy.
Am I biased towards Plinius? Maybe yes maybe not ...
