The 8200 will be able to run just about any speaker you buy in that price range w/o any problem, as it has 175 watts of clean power available. My suggestion is purchase something that sounds good with the 8200 & if & when you go with tubes, make that change later. A few years is a long time to live with a compromised sound. I found the 8200 has great detail & you may find you may not want to move away from it at all. You do have to allow for sufficient break-in though, so give it some time. I also recommend using a different PC.
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!
