I cannot dispute Philojet's recommendation of the Plinius. Although I had the 9200 not the 9100, in my setup the 9200 was excellent for tonality, a slightly warm yet detailed and resolved mid, slightly tubey sound and good low end. In my setup the Blue Circle BMPH has excellent clarity, detail, full mids and has a very natural sonic presentation; not a typical solid state sound yet not a tube sound, just natural, clean and musical. Not lean-sounding either. Build quality is excellent. In stainless steel casing and knobs it is very impressive. From highs to lows a very balanced integrated. Mine has the optional dual Shallco attenuators and optional balanced inputs. Remote function with this integrated can be had as an option. These don't show up in the classifieds often, so you would have to wait for one to show up or buy new. 160 watts per side
