@fatdaddy2 yes all the gear I am looking to buy is used .
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!

@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.
