PrimaLuna DiaLogue Seven Speaker Match

I own the Dialogue 2 integrated amp -- just 40 watts. I am using Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor speakers. Look at the Volent VL-2 (monitor) and the Acoustic Zen Adagio (floor standing). I am drawn to Primaluna'a "air" and high end. I felt the stock Primaluna tubes were horrible. I changed to NOS throughout -- am using Bendix 5992 (output) and Telefunken in the preamp and input stages. Tell Kevin at Upsacle Audio what kind of sound that you are looking for. He has more tubes than God can count. He will make your system great. He also sells NOLA speakers -- LISTEN TO THESE. If your budget is 25k for the lot then I imagine that you will end up with Primaluna and Nola. HAVE FUN picking out your system.

Dramapsycho is correct on the stock tubes and the remedy with Kevin Deal .

I have the Prologue 2 with Reference 3A speakers . They play well together . An honest and uncolored speaker .

Happy Tunes

If you're going to use your iPod, make sure you look into getting one of the best bargins in audio for using the iPod...the Wadia iTransport. You just need to feed it via the digital coax into a good/great D/A converter and you will love the sound. Makes your iPod a music server via iTunes and you can't go wrong with it for under $ 350.00

I agree with Gerryn that the Wadia i Transport with my new Rega DAC sounds tremendous through the Dialogue 2. Also running Apple Airport Express using my IPAD through the DAC is a very nice combo as well. The Wadia/Rega/IPod is the better sound though. Still neither compares to a decent vinyl rig, just more convenient. Using VPI Classic with SDS and outer ring with Benz ACE- when I am really serious about listenening.

Driving a pair of PSB Synchrony One's- Dialogue handles them very well. Rated efficiency is at 90 for the speakers. Dialogue Sevens would handle all you could throw at it.

Sonus faber, just sounds so right with PL gear don't it! Makes great music for sure. PL premium 3 pre with prologue 7 genalex kt88, RCA nos black plates, mullards nos. Liuto. Idecco2 for iPod Dac. Good fun hunting
