"Muse model II pre-amp"? No such thing, no such model. These is a "Model Two" DAC. There was a Model One pre amp and there is current model Three pre amp and the new MAP (which can act as a pre amp among other things). Never heard of a "Plinius MK-3 amp". Plinius has been around for about 20 years, so maybe it's a very old model I don't know about (it's also not in the Orion Blue Book)? Current models are the: SA-50mkIII, SA-100mkIII, and the SA-250mkIV. Anyway, we carry Muse and Plinius and could offer some advice, but aren't really sure of what you're friend is using. For speakers we recommend Dunlavy. We also sell most Dunlavy speakers with Muse and Plinius. I can tell we can take the Cantons towards any Dunlavy model. Your friend should consider the SC-III's. www.hellohifi.com
