Classe CAP151 150 vs Plinius 8200 8150


Anybody heard them both? And which you think is better?
Thx.

I have heard them both and think they are both very good choices. I ended up buying Classe seperates, and eventually the Plinius 8200. I would like to say one is better, but I think it is just a matter of system matching and your personal preference. The Classe is warmer, maybe a bit sweeter. I think it has better build quality. The Plinius will give you great dynamics, without being in your face, a great midrange and soudstage, outputs for true biwiring. Phono is included. Both have excellent customer service, although Classe is in Canada. I did have to deal with customs, no problem, just paperwork. What speakers are you using?
Bigboy, With the Virgos and 777ES, I would say that the Plinius is capable of giving you more. You certainly will need it with such quality components. I have to ask though, are you limiting yourself to those two choices? Is this due to budget or space?
I have a Creek 5350SE , it is great sounding but lacks power on some dynamic passages. I prefer integrated for simplicity and my budget is under $2000.
Again thx for the inputs.
