Question on Plinius Amps

I have done a quick search on the archives and couldn't find any threads on the Plinius P10, SA-103 and SA-201 although there are a few discussions on the SB-301.
I am curious to know how do the following amplifiers compare in terms of sound quality/power rating as some of these amps have very close or silimiar power outputs.

1) P10 (200W into 8 ohms)
2) SA-201 (225W into 8 ohms)
3) SA-103 (125W into 8 ohms)
4) SB-301 (310W into 8 ohms)

I am assuming the SA-103 will sound better and more powerful than the P10.

How do the SB-301 compare with the SA-201 or SA-103 or vice versa?

Any inputs would be appreciated.

That was news to me that the SA-102 has been upgraded. Probably so new that media hasn't caught up. Google for reviews on the 100 mk3, 102 and 250. The SA-103 and SA-Reference operate in class A (switchable to A/B, which I call "standby") and are sonically superior.

Their A/B designs are primarily intended for HT market and run much cooler. The SA-201 is not class A. They are all powerful and can drive demanding loads.
