Plinus vs. Burmester amps

Thanks Apdoc, I appreciate your comments. I realize there are likely few people who have heard both of these amps so any comparison is good. My concern with the Plinius is the heat issue and the hour or so warm up time for class A. Burmester seems to have resolved this. Does the 956 have enough power for you? I am running fairly efficient speakers so I don't think power will be a problem. 96db and 4 ohm.

Hmmm, no takers. I am considering the Plinius sa-103 or SA Reference or the Burmester 956mk2 or 911mk3. If anyone has experience with this gear, I would appreciate any feedback you may have.

Thank you Apdoc and Joey,
So it sounds like I shouldn't be concerned with heat then from the Plinius gear? I have read accounts of extra air conditioning in the summer and no need for heat in the winter with the Plinius. What about the sound from each amp? I have read glowing reviews of each. I would like to make one purchase and be done with it, but want to make sure I choose something that I'll be happy with for many years to come. While both brands may fit that bill I want to feel later that I made the right choice. I have no dealers for either of these manufacturers in my state.

I really appreciate the feedback guys, and look forward to more. I thought I would summarize comments made so far.

Burmester
Pro:
Best amp ever owned.
Best qualities of SS and tubes.
More dynamic slam than Pass.
Outstanding, very refined sound.
Easier on electricity
Bass quality and ability to control the woofers are specialties.
With Burmester speakers, best natural sound and a higher sense of reality.

Con:
A tendency to brightness.

Plinius
Pro:
No one hour warm up time for class A.
Non-fatiguing sound.
Effortless power.
Great bass control.
No "fizz" in treble.
Very strong bass and dynamics.

Con:
(SB-301) slightly rolled off on top and not the last word in transparency.

By the way, very nice system P59! I use the same Ayre.
