Wells Audio / AVA Synergy / PrimaLuna DiaLouge Premium HP

Hi all,

I am looking to upgrade my amplifier to power my Salk Audio HT2-TL’s. I’m hoping that with your help, I can decide between there potential options. Here’s a couple bullet points which may help your appreciated guidance:

  • My signal chain is Mac mini > Chord Hugo TT > Cambridge Audio 840A V2 > Salk HT2-TL]
  • I’m running the speakers without a subwoofer, so I would like something that doesn’t skimp on the low end.
  • I’m looking for the silk, buttery, in the room sound, with three dimensionality.
  • I listen at low level late night listening around 40% of the time, medium level 40% of the time, loud "reference" levels 20% of the time.
  • The speakers offer bi-wiring, but I have never taken advantage of it.

Right now I believe I’ve settled on three options:

  1. Wells Audio Majestic Intergraded w/ Internal Upgrades. The upgrades will make the unit sound like the Innamorata according to Jeff Wells.
  2. AVA Synergy 450 Power Amp w/ AVA Tube Preamp
  3. PrimaLuna DiaLouge Premium HP Intergraded

Does anyone have any experience or thoughts between these options?

Russ, thanks for the update, and congrats on the LM.  I am very interested in the Majestic - could you perhaps expand a little bit on its sonic qualities?  What speakers/gear/cable did you hear it with?  Would appreciate any input - relatively few people have heard the Majestic, and it's great to get feedback from someone who has. 

Thanks,
Scott

Hey Scott,

To be totally transparent, the Magestic I heard was not a stock Magestic. The unit had been upgraded with all of the components that are inside the Innomarata, so I couldn't give you my honest opinion. With that said, I trust Jeff Wells and his equipment and am sure that you will be thrilled with the Magestic based on other's opinions in this and other threads. Please let me know if there's anything else I can help answer!
