Why is there no love for Prima Luna?

jjss49,

"was it winston churchill or abraham lincoln who said - 'you all do as i say, not as i do' ???"

No, it was some Chuck The China Man on audiogon.

I'm hardly an expert, but picked up a Prologue 2 integrated about a month ago and couldn't be happier.   I'm currently running Fritz Carbon 6s and Soliloquy 5.3s (auditioning the Fritz, so the sets are rotating in and out of the system), and the amp runs them without breaking a sweat - large room, but not head-banging levels.  With either speakers, I notice a presence that was lacking in my previous SS amps and a bit of warmth that doesn't go to the old-school-tube-amp level of softness.  Bottom line, the system sounds honest, accurate, and musical.  Better or more experienced ears might find fault, but I'm satisfied and finding myself far more involved in the music.

That Mac 352 integrated is very nice looking and a hybrid  design which I tend to like. 

We're not as free in the old USA as we like to think. 

Love my prima luna preamp.  Yes some guilt about not buying american, but the price is right.  Drives my carver tube amp and makes my Goldenear Ref’s  sing.  I support american when i can, but if everyone that knocks china products would do an inventory in their home of Chinese good, they too would find their money is going that way...
