IMHO EL34s are great in the mids and highs but give up too much bass. Personally I think KT88s just sound better and I don't think you will hear all the music the Celius has to offer with the EL34s. Just because they are sensitive does not mean the Triangles wouldn't appreciate the bottom end of the music spectrum appiled from an amp that can extend down. You just don't have to crank it up to hear clean tight bass. I agree with Gunbei, the Prologue 2 would be more flexible and worth the extra $250. Also, I would think the the 2 would hold it's resale value better, if that is important to you. I think this is a no brainer, go with the 2 and roll your tubes and see where the chips fall for you. After all it is what your ears hear that matters. Enjoy the music.
I made up my mind what to buy for Triangle Celius
I made up my mind what to buy for Triangle Celius.
It is Prima Luna Prologue. It may not be the best amp. However, It is very attractive and affordable one for the beginners.
However, Here's my question. Now I have to decide whether to buy Prologue One or Two. Please read my explanation on why I should buy Prologue one instead of Two and correct me if I'm wrong. Any kind of advice will be welcome.
MY understanding is that One is using EL34 and Two is using TT88. I prefer One since EL34 gives warmer sounds and detailed midrange, which should match very well with crispy and bright Triangle.
Two with TT88 gives more punch and power which very sensitive Triangle wouldn't need.
I would like to hear anything from you.
Thank you,
