I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative?

@soundermn 

I am a rather visual type. It it does not look good, I keep thinking about the looks and it completely spoils the experience. 

I own both the PL Dialogue Pre and the HP power amp. The sound is enjoyable for the price point. With all the comments about the LM 518 I really wonder now if I am missing something. Good thing with the PLs is the tube rolling options to fine tune.

@lancelock  My speakers are 92db efficient. What's your opinion on how well the ZOTL40 will drive them?

@mdeblanc , I use the ZOTL40 to power my 87db sensitive Janszen zA2.1 hybrid electrostats and I have plenty of headroom. You could probably use the ZOTL10 and have enough power. LTA has a nice trial policy so you can send it back. I also use the MZ2 as a preamp for excellent synergy.

3D print a metal box for your chosen amp or use wood

I find the Primalunas to look like they are trying hard to impress ( a negative) and I find equipment that is limited to SE with no balanced in/out to be not serious.  But I've heard they do sound good.
