Primaluna Dialogue Two + Wilson Sophia I

I just moved into the realm of tubes. I recently replaced my Arcam A85 int for the Primaluna Dialogue Two tube int. After about 6 listening hours, I am a bit taken back as to how well the DII conveys musical experiences. It is not that Arcam is not very detailed, focused, and driving, but the DII simply presents the soundstage in a more accurate manner. Additionally, the individual instruments are given greater weight and a sense of realism, amp control is amazing, and the dynamic contrast between aggressive movements and softer ones is amazing.

Bottom Line: this tube amp is more musical, and thus increases the chance that a musical connection will be made with the listener.

Anyone who thinks that 38watts/(21 in tri) is not enough power for Wilson Sophia Is will be sorely mistaken. This was my initial thought process as well.

Call Upscale Audio and ask them for a tube recommendation .
I did for my Prologue 2 and found them to be right on the money . No pun intended ! I don't know if the tubes that worked for my Prologue 2 would work for your Dialogue 2.

Good luck .
