Why is there no love for Prima Luna?

PrimaLuna is good stuff but not great. I’ve done side by side comparisons with their items against some very well regarded items and place PrimaLuna in just a good category. I think you will do completely fine if you purchase their products and build a system with it. But if your a audiophile that only demands the best, then there are many items out there for the same money that will outperform PrimaLuna. I feel their products are made well, look fine and function very good. My friend who owns a lot of their products prefers his other components over PrimaLuna and I agree. But then, I have another friend who’s using PrimaLuna in his system and he’s receiving world class sound. - Bottom line, there’s  absolutely nothing wrong with PrimaLuna products. They can sound wonderful if put together properly.  But standing alone as a single piece, there are better sounding components at same price on the market.  My evaluations that have been done to judge the PrimaLuna line have been done with their line of components in the $5,000 -$8,000 range compared to other brands in the $4,500 - $17,000.  Hope this was helpful.  

The American business community is responsible for foreign manufacturing as their main goal is generally to make as much money as possible (shocking!)...our lobbyist driven government allows this. Note that Apple could make everything in the USA and still be ridiculously profitable (after training some local workers).

Prima Luna is one of the most reviewed (I've never seen a bad review of their stuff) and relentlessly advertised product lines so they don't need any "love" from around here. Sort of accidentally (as I have no beef with China and think keeping the manufacturing connection with the behemoth helps with foreign relations) I own lots of USA made gear including my speakers, piles of Schiit products and my power amp. 

@jjss49  Excellent post, and well said!

I have had several Chinese amps sent to me for repair....(Psvane being one) and The manufacturer won't give me the time of day for any support, and I find that quite often with Chinese amps....Which makes some of them irreparable......................

I have a primaluna hp power amp driving a pair of focal kanta 2’s and the sound is ethereal. full, round, warm and clear with a soundstage that is deep and wide. my system has never sounded this good. the primaluna weigh a ton and are
built like a tank. I Love Primaluna and anyone who hears them will too.
