Gretsch:
Have you listened to either or both amps? Also, what type of amp are you transitioning from? I purchased a Prima Luna Prologue 2 sight unseen, but it was my first tube amp in 30 years and it was also being used in a secondary system ... so, I did not view it as a risky move. Fortunately, the Prima Luna turned my head around completely and I have since replaced the Musical Fidelity A300 power amp in my main system with a Prima Luna Prologue 5. I posted a review of the Prologue 2 here .
In addition to the nuance, musicality, and emotion that the Prima Luna adds to the experience, there is also no maintence involved as there is an auto-biasing circuit. I have paired the amp with 3 different speakers (Acoustic Research 302's; NHT SB2's; and Omega Super 3's) and each time the speakers were brought up a clear notch.
I don't know anything about the Jolida, other than what I have read here. I am a big Prima Luna fan and have no intentions of going elsewhere.
Regards, Rich
