Music Reference RM200 or David Berning ZH270?

I am interested in both of these amps. Has anyone out there heard both of them before? The associated equipment that I would be using is Gallo Nuclius Reference speakers (88db efficiency), Supratek Syrah preamp, Granite Audio 650 CD player, MIT 330 and TG Audio IC's and MIT 750 plus speaker cable. Can anyone tell me the differences in these two amps, or your expriences with them?

Thanks for all of your responses and input. I am in the process of buying a Berning ZH270. I know from my research on these 2 amps that they are both excellent choices, but I have grown to value and respect the opinions of the great people on Audiogon. I will let you know how the amp sounds in a week or so. Thanks to everyone.

Well guys, my deal on the ZH270 fell through. The seller misrepresented himself and the age of the amp he had for sale. The amp may be just fine for all I know, but I choose not to deal with someone who rates a product a 10/10 and I find out from Berning that it is 7 years old.

Well boys, maybe the audio gods are shining on me. Allan hooked me up with a great guy that is selling me a 1 year old ZH270 with NOS tubes that have been cryogeniclly treated. Thanks again Allan. I should have it next week and will let you know how it sounds. Thanks to all who have contributed to this thread.

Well guys, I have had my ZH270 for 3 days now and I can't stop listening to it. It is everything you said it was. I am getting off the crazy merry go round of buying equipment and am going to sit back and start enjoying music. I am where I have been trying to get to for the past 25 years!
