I’m not sure where the op is seeing all these negative comments on PL. Possible troll? This post could be for any product, how about next time ask: Why is there no love for [Insert product name here]?
I bought a Dialogue One from Kevin over 10 years ago, based on audition and price / performance. The brand reputation wasn’t as strong then, I just trusted my ears. China was more of a non-issue at the time, so it wasn’t a consideration.
Re quality, It’s been in my office system for years, turned on most days all day. Anecdotal, but I figure it must have 25,000 hours on it, zero problems. Tube changes, that’s it.
Paired with high efficiency speakers, still sounds great.
