 My trust Plinius 8200MKII bit the dust and I need a new integrated that work well with the Joseph's.
Anyone know of a good match? Budget up to $2500 new or used. If I can't get a great match think I will go to Tubes. Thanks

 Rogue will be recommended. No direct experience here.

 Is the Plinius not repairable? If not, take a look for one of the Modwright integrateds. Great match for Joseph speakers.

 If you decide to go solid-state, check out Parasound:

 Thanks fto all for the feedback. The Modwright looks great (by the reviews) but it seems to be way out of my price range (unless I am missing something). Had been thinking about the Parasound but it seems overkill in features since I only play CD's. But it is a consideration. Intrigued by Primaluna or Rogue but do not know how much power I would need with the Josephs.

 

Have you thought about asking Joseph?, posted on September 18, 2016 at 06:19:14

 They must know a thing or two about power requirements. They might be able to recommend something.

 I was very happy with the Plinius. Plenty of power, great soundstage, good separation, I had it about 10 years and had bought it used. Felt it was a wonderful in combination with the Josephs and would be very happy to purchase one again if they still made them. (and at today's prices I could afford one).

 Why not get the Plinius repaired since you were so happy with it, seems to make more sense. The cost to repair it can't be anywhere near $2,500.

 ..at either audio shows or dealers they've been paired with Bel Canto electronics. Probably a reason.

 I have a friend with Joseph floorstanders. Not sure which model, but by the finish alone, they look very pricey. With that said, he's been enjoying a Rogue Cronus Magnum (KT 120's) for the last couple years. It replaced a fairly expensive Yamaha integrated which I believe has been relegated to a second system.

 Thanks so much for all your great suggestions. I ended up buying a Hegel H200 and can't wait to get it.

 I have the same speakers. I sent a note to Jeff Joseph asking about how much power (watts) he recommended to drive them. His response was that I should look for a HIGH CURRENT amp. The Parasound Halo is a high current amp. FYI, anytime I've seen Jeff Joseph demo his speakers, he's using amps from Bel Canto.
