Plinius 250/Pass x-350/Gamut D200/Other ?


Has anyone heard all three that can offer a view. It is very hard to arrange a demo, and I would like to garner some insights before I start traveling. If there is another ss amp that I should consider among this group, please advise. I am driving ML Sequel II's with CAT SL-1 and EAD source. Thanks.

The GamuT worked just fine driving my 88dB efficient 6 ohm Rockport Syzygy speakers....Wonderful focus and venue information. A really little bump in the upper bass is all I could find to criticize. It isn't the most dynamic amp I have heard, but there was enough PRAT to get your toes tapping.....I spent a week with the amp and replaced the worn binding posts and made up some better RCA adapters and enjoyed every minute.....I went with another brand of binding posts, Superior Electric, and the little bass bump virtually went away and the unit had better pace as well.......Great amp for around 3K on the used market......
I don't know if the JC-1s are amazing, but they are the best we could do in a machine made very powerful amplifier....I have been circulating a demo set to our Blowtorch preamp customers and their friends and everyone has liked them and several have purchased sets....They break in nasty for those that try a new set and take a good thirty days to sing, but I voiced them for complete break-in....The amps are very unusual for a machine made unit as the parts quality is the best available....
