[QUOTE="BJ, post: 929245, member: 17783"] The Short and Simple Answer.....The Proof is in the Pudding Wattage is the worst possible measurement that one can use as a guideline in Audio. I have had a Plinius 125W, Class A, 50 Ampere Amp, destroying the likes of Parrasound 400W amps. Likewise the Plinius SA50, along side the Krell SA50, some of the Best solid state Class A Amps ever build, comfortably outperforming 200-250w Rotel/Nad Power amps in Headroom and actual loudness. A Plinius SA103, 125W, Class A, nowadays will cost you close to R200K, the Replacement RA125 is set to Retail around R280K. At a mere 125W....not to far from your 100W...... What makes an amp like this Sooo special???? So as for price and performance......each to its own. You can either pre judge a product, based on Looks/Price/Heritage, or take time to audition and keep an open mind. Imagine walking into CT, and choose the Rega 100W over the Gryphon 125W, because it sounds better......that will certainly throw the apple Cart amongst the Pigions. Guess what I am trying to get to.....there is NO substitute for listening. There is a Good Afrikaans Saying.....?Paper is Stom? So basically any form of electronic/Paper Media is flawed, cause there is Human Nature involved. I cannot convince you to like the Sound of the Talk over the Rega. You need to listen to Both, and then decide on the one you like. You organize the Rega, I will supply the Talk, and we do the Demo together and discuss the findings. The Winner, will be the one you like most. [/QUOTE]
