Plinius or Simaudio

I'm planning on getting the Totem Forest and would like your opinion on the Plinius 9200 vs 9100 vs Simaudio i5.3. I know that Totem pairs their speakers with Plinius, but would like more input before I pull the trigger.

Also, would repair be a concern when dealing with a Canadian vs a New Zealand manufacturer? I believe SimAudio has a 10 year warranty, not sure of Plinius. Though, I've heard that Plinius is rock solid. I'm planning on keeping it a long time and my wife prefers the looks of the SimAudio.

A few years ago Plinius did have a reputation for being finicky. The sound however was and is excellent, clean and very dynamic. No bad news about them lately but I have been asking only about tooob amps. I would choose Plinius over Sim.
