Krell or Plinius?

I had a plinius 8200 and it was by far the best integrated I ever owned. I imagine the 9200 would work very well with your speaks.

Krell will give you better grip on bass but with a good speaker can sound a bit metallic or "etched" in mids.On other hand Plinius has very "tubey" SS sound that might or might not side by side be your cup of Tea.Depends on your other gear,wiring,and your tastes.I sold Krell way back but would probably go with the Plinius myself.On some very forgiving speakers or ones that aren't as much in need of tubes like the B&W's as they were inherently "warm" I slung with the Krell it worked Krell was fine.
Chazz

Haven't heard either of those integrateds, but I did briefly own the SA-102. It was one of the best sounding SS amps I've ever heard. I wouldn't hesitate to buy Plinius again if I was in that market.

Shakey

Im a bit worried about Krell being too cold and clinical although my Mozarts are very musical speakers. On the other hand i auditioned Viennas with MF A5.5 and it was too warm! Not being able to audition Plinius before buying one doesnt help either....

The krell KAV 300iL stands for Audio and Video, the bass response is accurate rhytmic and fast.
