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 used to own a Dialogue Premium HP and thought it was awesome.  It replaced a Cary SLI-80 tube integrated.  The Primaluna blew away the Cary amp, which is made in the U.S.A.  The whole made in China xenophobia thing is a joke IMO.  Buy what you want and don't buy what you don't want, but in honesty some of the biggest hi-fi bargains are made in China.  
I sold my Primaluna amp to buy a Lyngdorf but in retrospect I should have kept the Primaluna.  It's great product at a very good price.  It holds its resale value well and the stuff just works.  I will consider buying their gear again in the future.
