Plinius SA103 inbound. Will try it out in the system and see. Going to pit against the Classe M600 and Boulder 2060. So cool that it has a switch for class a and ab.

Anyone else has this amp here?

    Wow that's a cool looking even as much as I hate to use this term (sexy) amp.
    Enjoy the audio ****.

    Cheers

    Not my intention... we're all audio friends here. Cool gear, cool folks.

    I like the blue in the rear.... love the color blue. Too bad I cant see it from the front haha

    I just sold mine last month, its was not the 103 but the 102 mk2. I did not really care for it that much and have a feeling you may feel the same way about them 103. Its for sure ambig downgrade against the classe, why go backwards?

    I had the 102 in the past... Would like to give it a spin again. Also I can flip this one easy.

    Enjoyed the 102 for the price. Can't beat that for approximately 2600 used.

    What's in that price range? Parasound a21 or the big rotel?
