I had Bryston a Bryston 4B and liked it. I have a pair of 7B's now and love them. Sterile? Perhaps, but I've always paired them with tube preamps.
There is a Portland Oregon store (Fred's Sound of Music) that always demos it's Mani-2's with Bryston a Bryston 4B. They have an awful lot of choices, and they seem to think Bryston/Totem is a good match.
I haven't spent a lot of time listening to Plinius gear, but from what I have heard, you won't go wrong with either marque.
