Brandon, I don't know how sensitive your speakers are. If the PrimaLuna is powerful enough I'd be willing to bet it's a "keeper" if you try it. I run a PL Dialogue integrated and have owned many tube rigs over the decades. It is the best sounding and easy to use tube amp I've ever owned. BTW, build quality is superb, supervised in China by the dutch engineer-designer. Service through Upscale Audio is very accessible (if you ever need service). Good luck and have fun.
Diving into the world of tubes...help needed!
Hi all,
I'm seriously considering diving into the world of vacuum tubes. I currently have Focal Aria 906s which I adore...but may upgrade those in the future as well to a floor standing speaker. For the beginning though, they will be my speakers. Looking for opinions on the below amps/preamps, especially the pairing of the Emotiva pre with the EVO 100!
My choices have been narrowed down to:

My choices have been narrowed down to:
- PrimaLuna Prologue Classic Integrated Amp - would likely pair with a Schiit Loki to have tone control
- PrimaLuna EVO 100 Power Amp - paired with EMOTIVA PT-100 preamp, would likely pair with Loki as well
- Vincent SV-237MK Integrated Amp - needs nothing additional
