Prima Luna Vs Accupahse


I am looking to get out of my Arcam SA20 and upgrade soon. I have the opportunity to get a good deal on both a used Prima Luna Evo300 Hybrid and used Accuphase E-280. My main speakers for now are the Focal Aria 936K2 but plan on getting Tannoy’s later. Which one would yall say is the better amp. Thank yoi!

@glennewdick Thank you for the response. Im mainly looking for the best sound quality and reliability. The only amp I have ever has is the Arcam SA20 and I like the sound signature but want to take it to the next level. If it was you which one wojld you go with?

@soix thanks for the reply. Yes I know that they are 2 different speakers but I wont be buying Tannoys anytime soon. It could be years. Out of both amps which one would you say is the better amp. I want to take my system to the next level.

I'll put another vote in for the Accuphase. I don't think anyone's going to argue the build quality...probably last you forever.

Prima Luna.....well, not so much.

 

Without a working definition of "better" for you?

What’s better for me is meaningless.

Sounds better with speakers you probably haven't heard in your room?  

Built better?

Maintenance reputation?

More expensive better?

Uses less power?

Room heat?

Sounds better without warm up or always on?

Form factor?

Features?
