integrated Tube C-J CAV50 for Proac 2.5
The 8200 is warmer but not in a good way, slightly veiled compared to the 9200. The 9200 is still somewhat lush, but more controled than the 8200.. I've had both and I'd spend the extra $600 for the 9200 it really is that much better and will be a... 
integrated Tube C-J CAV50 for Proac 2.5
FWIW I've had both Plinius's 8200MKII and now the 9200. The 9200 is a better sounding amp, quite a bit. Yes you do need a better AC cord, I've been pretty happy with a Shunyata Taipan. Also I'd suggest if you can listen to the new Proac D25 it's a...

Kimber MonocleXL vs MonocleX
On kimners site there is a review comparing Bi focal Xl to Bifocal X I believe the differences would translate to the Monocle. 
Meridian 507 vs 588 anyone compared them

Vienna Acoustics and cable
