INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER
Design Philosophy
The design of the Anniversary set draws on the aesthetic values of strength and
simplicity of the past 30 years and continues our company’s focus on meeting the
high standards required to always be at ‘The Heart of Music’.
The unique design of the Anniversary set incorporates the current design language of
Plinius, with the push buttons on the front panel operating the control system on the
integrated amplifier, while maintaining our history in the anodised brushed finishes. The
unique subtle blue-silver colouring portraying a titanium strength and the black ultra
matt chassis highlighted by Plinius Blue markings, creates a fusion of future and history.
The strong full aluminium wrap of the outer skin and cover creates a clean crisp
statement of strength, and the simplicity of the control and display layout maintains
the interface that is now synonymous to Plinius. The Integrated Amplifier and CD
player both now carry a new foot which allows for some height adjustment and to
improve resonance qualities.
Additional changes to the layout of internal components and changes to the rear
panel along with fine tuning of aesthetic detailing, further illustrate our 30 years of
striving to create ‘The Heart of Music’.
