For SF Cremona: JF Concentra 1 or Plinius 8150?


My new Sonus Faber Cremona just arrived. I have a Plinius 8150 integrated amp (and a meridian 508.24 CDP). It was perfect to drive my former Signums. But maybe not good enough for the Cremonas. Pre + power solutions are too expensive for me. As it is the new Jeff Rowland Concentra. Within this framework, a second hand Concentra I might be a good bet. Is it? Or should I keep my Plinius? Thanks.

Jeff Rowland is not a good match to Sonus Faber. I have tried 2 times, 8Ti pushing Electa Amator II, and Concentra II pushing Signum. Never get good results.

Dynaudio, Thiel and Avalon are good matches to JF.
