I'd say go fot it. Ayre amps are pretty easy to find used here, and you occasionally see Plinius M16's. Give it a shot and report back. If you don't like it you can always sell the used components for what you paid and move on. That's one of the beauties of Audiogon. Good luck and happy listening!
plinius pre with ayre amps?
i have seen the soundstage review of the sa-102 with the ayre k-1x and it reads as nothing short of amazing...but what about the plinius m16 with a v-1 or 5x? i'm curious because i would love to have a sa-102, but the heat it generates makes it imposible i light of my son's prying hands and the cabinet enclosure they require. i have an 8200p amp because i love the combo of dynaudio (i have the contour 2.8's) and plinus and think the m-16 may be the key to the kingdom! BUT, sout love to try a balanced amp and hte ayre would foot the bill with the plinius supplying the delicious dynaudio synergy i've found with the plinius? who knows?
