Plinius 8150i

How is this integrated amp? Is it a class A preamp and amp? I was told that this is my best solution as I have the Lex MC-1 with a sherbourn 5/1500 used for home theater. Getting this integrated amp will give me a better stereo music reproduction than my MC-1 itself in 2 channels music and at the same time I can run this Plinius integrated amp along with my MC-1 & Sherbourn for 7 channels home theatre application. I was just looking for a 2 channels power amp for straight hook up to my MC-1, but then was told that this Plinius will blow away the sound of the MC-1(2 channels music)+ any 2channels power amp combined. Are these for real? Thanks.
