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?

I should add my current preamp is a Conrad Johnson 17LS2 and it was/is much more musical in MY system than the PL Dialogue Premium preamp.

Again, different strokes.

I had a PL Prologue Premium preamp and it allowed me to hear into the music with Maggie 3.6's. I traded up to the Dialogue Premium preamp and I lost that.

I went to Thiel CS5i's with a DNA-500 and could never make the Dialogue Premium sound musical no matter what tubes are tried.

Just too analytical for my taste. You could "see" the spit on the microphone but not hear the splash when it hit.

I sold it and the new owner is loving it....

Different strokes I guess.
