Gamut D200 vs Plinius SA102 class a vs. ab

The upgrade bug is chompin' on me!

I have the Plinius P8 and had the SA201 (missin' it!). The Dynaudio Confidence C1's I now have are more efficient than my of Contour 2.8's and it has my mind a-wanderin' and wonderin'.

The SA10x series amps have enough power for me now....has any compared these amps in class ab vs. the P8? I can't use the class a option very often because of heat issues.....

How about vs. the Gamut D200? I know it has the same amount of power as the P8, but it has always held my curiosity and I like what I read about it.

Thanks for your insights.

The rest of my system has been updated here on agon.

Thanks for the input. A lot of Gamut fans! Any tried Gamut with Dynaudio? Can anyone compare the SA10x series in ab with the p8?
I like the synergy between Plinius and Dynaudio a lot. The warmth of the Plinius is mated well with the detailed Dynaudio.....
The 201 was more dynamic than the P8 and the midrange was particularly more fleshed out. It had more of a sense of ease and authority at the same time.

Thanks, Pdreher, that was my assumption and feeling. Also why I went with the P8.

And, thanks you Drubin as well. The preamp portion of the Plinius integrated is not very musical and generally weak in my experience. However, the amp section is great.

So, I will hold on to my P8, keep my eye out for a 201 (hen's teeth!) and I think I will try to pick up a Gamut and hear what I hear!

Thanks for all your help.....
