Prima Luna Vs Accupahse

I'll put another vote in for the Accuphase. I don't think anyone's going to argue the build quality...probably last you forever.

Prima Luna.....well, not so much.

Without a working definition of "better" for you?

What’s better for me is meaningless.

Sounds better with speakers you probably haven't heard in your room?  

Built better?

Maintenance reputation?

More expensive better?

Uses less power?

Room heat?

Sounds better without warm up or always on?

Form factor?

Features?

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. 

OP, I suspect most respondents here are assuming you’re asking about a Primaluna tube amp, whereas you’re asking about their hybrid integrated which has an AB amp in it. As for build quality (which probably is better on the accuphase…), the PL gear is built well, don’t get me wrong - it is very reliable, and gives up some things in the cosmetic side to cut costs, while the Accuphase is an even higher standard all around. But anyway I doubt many of us have heard the hybrid amp. I would bet either of your choices would work very well with the Tannoys. I owned the Turnberrys, with a Luxman class A integrated and primalunas, though all tubes in my case. Both were great, though the solid state amp had more transient speed than the tubes, a bit better bass and clearer highs, but the tubes were more liquid. You might get the best of both worlds with the PL hybrid. I’m sure upscale audio could give you some good insight on this pairing since they sell both.

Out of both amps which one would you say is the better amp. I want to take my system to the next level.

Hard to recommend any amp without knowing what specific improvements you’re looking for over your Arcam and what sound characteristics (i.e. imaging/3D soundstage, tonality, treble detail/air, micro/macro dynamics, PRaT, etc.) are most important to you.  “Better” and “next level” are pretty vague and can mean very different things to different people depending on their personal tastes/preferences.  So more specifics would be very helpful here.
