PRIMA LUNA AMPLIFIERS


Hi 

I,m thinking of buying a Prima Luna amplifier but worried re reliability, and what you do in the UK if you have problems.

Would like to hear what owners think about reliability, tube changes , tube upgrades, potential problems,
And what happened if you had problems re after sales repair and support.



i,m going to use them with Proac D20 r floorstanders .

 Thanks in advance for your help

I have a set of PL Prologue 6 monos driving a pair of MB Quart Vera VS 1F as my second system and I use Blue JJ EL 34s and occasionally KT88s.  Right now I have PSVane KT 88 Ty II in there.  Both have their benefits and weak spots.  Love the PLs, lots and lots of good stuff no doubt about it and I am not knocking them with the below.

I also own the Carver Crimson 350s as my 1* system driving Carver Amazing Silvers.Why don"t you look at and seriously consider Carver"s new 275.  It's has a 5 yr warranty INC tubes, (nobody else I know of does that), 4 KT 120 power tubes,hand built, with hand wound transformers, made in USA, point to point wiring  75 w/ch and is voiced like the 350s just less power, and $6750 less,  At $2750 is less than most PLs and IMO a much better amp in almost all areas.  I saw a preowed on AM for $2100 + or - . That would be a great bargain, it's a bargain at $2750. I believe Frank (ceo Carver Corp) would probably transfer the warranty if you asked him.  Carver takes care of their customers new or preowned better than any audio corp I've dealt with.  It will drive those ProAcs with ease

Why not check out some great American or European made equipment  there’s lots of fantastic choices.
johnto---I agree. If you got the cash, Japan makes some great components as well. 
Funny you ask. I have a love hate relationship. I absolutely love the sound.  I have been  solid state guy for 40+ years. Tried a PL Dialouge Premuim HP Integrated. Loved it. Blew a circuit in 30 days. Sent it back to Upscale, and replaced it w/ an Evo 400 preamp. Stopped working today. Don't know why. I'll be sending it back under the 60 day trial period also ( had it for less than 30 days). Upscale has been more than helpful.  Just bad luck I guess.
