Prima Luna Vs Accupahse


I am looking to get out of my Arcam SA20 and upgrade soon. I have the opportunity to get a good deal on both a used Prima Luna Evo300 Hybrid and used Accuphase E-280. My main speakers for now are the Focal Aria 936K2 but plan on getting Tannoy’s later. Which one would yall say is the better amp. Thank yoi!

Accuphase all the way.  As an owner I can tell you that it'll pair nicely with just about any speaker you throw at it.  Gorgeous build quality to go along with superb sound.

My close buddy owns the SA20 in his secondary system and a Primaluna Dialogue HP is his main.  I've spent many hours listening to both.  We have owned the same speakers and our rooms are similar in size.  The Primaluna outshines the SA20 in just about every way, most noticeable the soundstaging and more natural tonality. 

Primaluna would be an upgrade for you, but long term Accuphase would be the way to go IMO.

Keep us posted if you make a purchase.
