I'd have to say the Rotel RA-1062 I recently purchased is now slouch for a 'midrange' amp.
Hopefully you'll get a good price for it, I really rate Plinius gear
Thanks, Plinius is quality stuff, built like a tank, a great all rounder, have owned it for over 10 years, never had any issue, I figure if I want to go down the route of upgrade game with Plinius, I will be in a serious debt haha. One thing Plinius and Moon have in common is both are very easy for delving deep into music.

Thank you my friend, Plinius is quality stuff, built like a tank, an all rounder, never had any issues, I figure if I want to play the upgrade game with Plinius, I might go bankrupt soon haha. However I might even keep it as a second system in my bedroom in case I fail to find someone who would appreciate it.
Just a quick impression on Moon compared to Plinius, both are easy for delving deep into music, both sound very natural, however Moon does clarity slightly different from Plinius, After playing continuously for 5 days, I find Plinius sound stage is a bit deeper and wider, but this could change after another week of playing. I am a violinist trained in Classical tradition, Moon does finesse really well, the difference in violin playing style and how the performers project their sound acoustically, in violin world, the bow is the voice, and I could hear different bow pressure and contact with the strings. Plinius does it very well but different.
Moon's presentation feels more laid back than Plinius, but its ability to extract detail makes the listening experience truly engaging. I'm into eclectic stuff so Moon also has the ability to shine in Rock, Blues, Jazz, Electronics etc too. I feel Plinius is more neutral, allows the music to speak for itself, it made me appreciate Nigel Godrich's vision when producing Radiohead, or mastering by Van Gelders on John Coltrane's Love Supreme, Moon for me is more intimate, however I think my Esoteric contribute a lot to that sound as well.
I occasionally crank up the volume, but normally listening in low level, I just feel Moon 240i can improve maybe partnering with its power amp, I remember my friend's JBL classic(the 70s) driven by pre/power Jeff Rowland in his Cafe, the details still come through in low level, amazing.
