Plinius Hiato vs MA9000 vs Hegel H360 (powerful integrated amps under 10k with 200 watts)

Paradigm Reference, Signature 12 sub quit working
Yes, first thing I did, thanks. 
Why is it so easy to tell the difference between live and recorded music?
Some of Frank Zappa's stuff is very hard to tell if it is live or not. Mostly very well done. 
Don't You Just Love It When...
