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 do pretty well buying American probably 80% of the time. Most of my shop tools are vintage US made...many nos. Where there’s a will there’s a way.

But I bought the Evo 400. It is not as transparent as a Don Sachs Kootenay...which I bought before the Evo 400. But it’s actually close enough...and it sounds more balsy.

Primaluna is voiced to please....like McIntosh.
This means that some are not going to like it.

Running through a good preamp like the Don Sachs model 2...it’s pretty damn good.
