Plinius 9100 or Simaudio Moon i5 for Totem Hawks?

I've owned the Plinus 8200mkII powering a pair of Totem Tabu's. Never really did it for me.

I've owned the i-5 with both Forests and Hawks. I am currently running a Krell 400xi on the Hawks and would highly recommend it! The i-5 ran out of juice on the Forests. The 400xi sounds awesome with either the Hawks/Forest and even has the power to drive the Winds as well - which I am bringing home next week! ;)

Not to add an amp to your decision making, but you may want to give it a listen. I was never a Krell fan (in fact, i kind of steered clear of Krell) until I heard the 400xi!

Thanks, Jh2os. I live in an apartment and cannot crank up the volume, which is why I chose the Hawks over the Forests, but I agree with you that i-5 wouldn't be sufficient with the Forest. Take care.

Imho the plinius is not even close to the sim or to the krell. I have always been mystified about the adoration of the plinius, but I have had very good success with both krell and sim with arro's, mani 2 and staffs.

I have a Plinius 9200 I don't need any more. Email me if you are interested.

Hi Emster. Thanks for your input. What were the Plinius and Simaudio models that you compared, and what differences did you hear that made you prefer the Plinius? Thanks again.
