Symphonic Line RG1 MK4 Vs Plinius SA-102

Hi All,
I am planning to buy a new power amp to pair up with my Dynaudio Contour 1.3SE. My room is 13.5 X 13.7 feet in area. I prefer rich, slightly warm sound. I absolutely hate anything analytical or bright. My speakers are a difficult load to handle. I have tried a couple of good tube amps and they failed to control it.
I have heard Plinius before and like it but I find them slightly lacking in damping the speakers. I was told that Symphonic line is another amp that can not only control the speakers but they also sound warm and rich.
I mostly listen to classic Rock (Knopfler and Floyd), Acoustic Bands, Blues, classical and also some general Rock stuff.

Someone in another forum suggested that Symphonic Line is rather on the brighter side. I dont have the option to listen to them so please advise.

regards.

I like both Plinius & S-L -- but definitely prefer the RG-7 & the bigger Plinius to the ones you are considering (which doesn't mean your choices are bad).
I too can't see the S-L as being "bright"... if anything, the opposite.
Anyway, it's possible that the S-L may be slightly more confident with yr spkrs; both are very nice products IMO.
