Personally I feel that you will get a very warm sound with the plinius and the planet so your speakers do not neccesarily have to be all that warm. I have heard the plinius with B&W nautilus 805 and have loved the detail combined with the warmness of the plinius. If you want something even warmer, I know that the 805's aren't warm, then I would try the dynaudio 1.3 or some audiophysic sparks or tempos, they are unbelieveable speakers. Also I would suggest I power cord as well for the plinius, I would go with a synergistic research just because many other cords sound bloated with the plinius, the synergistic will just drop the background noise and give you great "blackness", I hope this helps, good luck
Monitor speakers for Plinius 8200
I am contemplating buying a Plinius 8200, but I want to make sure I can match speakers with it. I would like a pair of monitors that will also match well with tube electronics when I move toward them in a couple years. I have a Michell Gyrodec w/ SME 309 and Clearaudio Aurum Beta, Rega Planet, and Magnum Dynalab FT-11. I like a sort of laid back sound but I don't want to give up too much detail. I just want to hear real music w/o any serious artifacts. I'm looking to spend no more than $1000 used. Thanks for the help!
