Prima Luna Vs Accupahse

@wsrrsw thanks for the input. Accuphase seems to be the winner here. 

@audioman58 thanks for the input. I wish I could hear any of them first but Im sure I can go wrong with the Accuphase. Im looking for a rich' warm sound but still detailed with good holographic imaging. My Arcam SA20 has been goos but its been 4 years since Ive had it now. My room is small so I dont need lots of power.its only about 13×14. I found a good deal on a used Accuphase E-280 on Ebay so its a no brainer.

I own the PL integrated amp and the Focal 936s. I’m in heaven. I rolled to the 150 power tubes and have two Rel Subs. The synergy is sublime.... IMHO

edit: FWIW...... I do not have the hybrid PL, straight tubes. For what it’s worth, my digital end, a separate streamer and dac... fairly high end at 6k and 5k, the Focals are way brighter than my analog side; a tube phono pre amp and the PL. Not unbearably bright.... just brighter.

Another way I'd describe my sound is:  My analog side is, as you put it.... " rich warm sound, Detailed and above all, musical.  My digital side is analytical and more bright.  I like both sides for it gives me variety.  Both sides take me places my car can't!  Both sides blow me away. 

Seriously there are so many factors (the room being a biggie). In my plebeian opinion putting the Amps difference into very general vernacular, the Focals are fast speakers and the Tannoys (horns) are a bit slower..nay a tad more analog. The same is true for the Amps. The Tanny's are more efficient so to drive.

The sound between A and B will be different. Without knowing all of your equipment opinions as to a way to go are somewhat moot. 

Moving away from the Arcam SA20 w/ either AMP would be an upgrade.

The main reason to consider PrimaLuna is for their all tube design, engineering and overall build quality. It just what they do best. I feel that hybrid “Floyd” offering will be short lived. It’s a nice, all in one package with sufficient power, but the Accuphase (with its tone controls) will likely serve you better across your speaker evolution.

For what it’s worth, I run a pair of Tannoys (Legacy Arden) in my main system powered by the PrimaLuna Evo 300 power amp. It’s a fantastic pairing and I feel like I don’t need to consider “upgrades” in either area. Tube swaps certainly help to fine tune the sound.

Don’t rule the Tannoy Cheviot out when you start to get serious about speakers. It’s a little more affordable than the Turnberry, and the legacy line punches above its weight class sonically. 
 

Best of luck.
