Why is there no love for Prima Luna?


I have noticed fairly negative comments on Prima Luna in various discussions. Granted, I’ve never heard their gear but they seem to offer quite a value proposition. Point to point wiring, auto bias, protection circuits, easy tube rolling, good parts and build quality. I had considered looking into the Evo series integrated but the brand seems to be downplayed on this forum. Anyone have direct experience as to why?

Because Prima Luna isn't that great, even when there are many worst ones (try Line Magnetic, Ming Da, etc)

Say, if Grand Hotel Tremezzo charges you 75 euros a night to stay in their storage closet, would you call this "a great deal", "excellent value at this price point", "best bang for the bucks"?

How about an $100 Yugo?  Would that be "great buy at this price point"?

I once heard an all top-of-the-line PL setup (driving Maggie 20.7 or something like that) at my audiophile friend's place for hours.  He tried all genre of music to impress me about his PL line up.  I truly don't understand the humor.
