Anyone own or heard of PrimaLuna?

Hi. First of all, I am not an audiophile but simply love music and like it certain way but not overly crazy. I started out with solid state Mcintosh for couple years. I recently listen to few tube amps like audio research, t+a, cary audio and prima luna. I can afford all those big expensive brands but I thought primaluna sounded as good if not better and it cost fraction of other big names.  Just curious if anyone has experience with it? What you like the most? What you feel need improvement? Any issue with customer service? How's the company? Is quality really that better as they claim against other competitors? Thank you for your feedback.

Does PrimaLuna make any balanced Amps?

PL doesn't have balance amp.

I just performed a blind test on my wife. Using PrimaLuna Premium HP and MC601 with PSB T6 and Wilson Alexia.

She likes the sound from PL on both speakers. She claims both speakers sound smooth and deeper bass than MC601 where she think it's too bright (too high frequency). PL is much more comfortable to her ear.

When I swap both speakers around using the PL, she claims she couldn't notice any different!!! SERIOUSLY? OMG. I save the money for 3 years and got something she thinks it's the same than the speakers I got back in 2006!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG.

Anyway, the point is PL is pretty darn good. I am going to commit to it. Thank you guys.

Alright, well, consider yourself lucky. If the combo of the MC601s and Wilson Alexia sound no different (or better) than the Primaluna and the PSB T6, you just saved yourself enough money to buy a second (or third) car. Congratulations.
