I have no skin in the game to respond to this ask. I would however like to give major props to @jimmy2615 for offering such a thoughtful reply. There are really some wonderful folks helping each other out. I’ve always been interested in the Primaluna gear and love the way it sounds in my friends listening room and that’s the reason I dropped into this thread. I have Focal’s in my main room and really enjoy them. I hope the OP can sort out what he’s looking for. Good luck and cheers.
Primaluna EVO 400 Amps/Preamp lacking bass impact
We have Primaluna EVO 400 preamp with 2 EVO 400 amps running monoblock. Focal Kanta No3 speakers.
We were hoping for a bit more bass impact. rolling the tubes in both amps might be out of the range we would invest here.
Mostly music but sometimes used in HT setup with SVS SB-4000 sub. since the sub has full bass management we could add that leaving the Focal full range and setting the sub for 50hz/24db.
As long as it is okay to have both balanced and SE outputs from the preamp hooked up at the same time? always wondered about that.
