The Rowland 8 is a tremendous amp, I have owned one for many years, had it modded by Jeff and believe it easily competes with most of the best ss amps that are on the market today. 

While the Plinius is a good amp, it really is not in the same league IMO.

@soix  I not only have heard the SA103, I had it in my system for a couple of months. Like I stated, it is a good amp, in my system the 8T is a lot better. BTW, the model 8 runs in pure class A up to 25 Watts/ch, and just so you know, Jeff is still servicing the amp, whereas if the Plinius has to be returned for service to….where?

@soix  Just like your taste runs towards the Plinius. Which also means nothing.;0)
