I have to say that I love my PL DiaLogue Premier HP with the stock tubes. It is pared with my Focal Utopia Diablo III's and it is a great combination. Really makes them sound fantastic. Other things that I like about it are the hassle-free tube maintenance, auto-biasing, the lights to show a tube failure, switching from Pentode to triode from the remote. at 75 wpc, it has enough to drive the Focal's. I listen to a lost of jazz and classic rock and it handles everything and sounds great. So there is definitely love going around. I've even thought of getting another one and switching to monoblock on the back, which put out 150 wpc!
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?
