robbiegong Pay the extra £1k and get yourself one of those Audionet Watt amps I linked to previously, you won't regret it.

Hey Dave, Yeah, I wont lie, really like all I've read about the Audionet Watt, build quality, everything.
In particular its presentation, from what I'm reading sounds like all the things I love about my Plinny. (That Humboldt your brother owns, sounds killer, but I dont need all that, not that I can afford one)
I'm hoping to nab an Hautonga towards the end of the year, as it is effectively the improved/revised current version of my 9200, so i kind of know what to expect but a bit more/improved.
I already told myself if I somehow wasnt quite as impressed as I'd expect, I wouldnt write of the idea of trying an Audionet Watt.

hifinutt I'd be paying for a dac and far too many inputs with that Rotel. I like the looks though.

I've heard your model (9200) but never a Hautonga, seriously believe that they're not in the same class as Audionet. I do understand that 6k isn't cheap, there might be something more affordable when you come to upgrading. Still worthwhile giving the Plinius a listen since you've been happy with that, it did dethrone your beloved Sansui.

Still worthwhile giving the Plinius a listen since you've been happy with that, it did dethrone your beloved Sansui. At £13k rrp, against £3800 at time of review for the 9200, a good number of years back, so lets say £4.5k+ in now money and around £6k approx, the current Hautonga, I'd expect the Audionet to be a class up. I thoroughly enjoy the 9200, as you know, hence the itch to try its improved, revised guise the Hautonga. That said, I really like all I've read about the AudioNet Watt to the point of tempted and wanting to hear one - yes it does look and sound (from all I've read), like a serious bit of kit - who knows how things will pan out in the long run

Well spotted Phil, nice amp and I've never noticed before it even has a headphone socket at the rear.
