Why is there no love for Prima Luna?

I have noticed fairly negative comments on Prima Luna in various discussions. Granted, I’ve never heard their gear but they seem to offer quite a value proposition. Point to point wiring, auto bias, protection circuits, easy tube rolling, good parts and build quality. I had considered looking into the Evo series integrated but the brand seems to be downplayed on this forum. Anyone have direct experience as to why?

I know I went to go purchase based on reviews, listened, and was less than impressed. Ended up buying the mac hybrid ma352 instead. Clean, clear, detailed, everything’s prima Luna was not.

Since I started following these forums I've discovered there are people that seem to hate the more popular brands. I own a 400 Evo integrated and doubt i could do much better in the system it is in. Speaker selection is always more limited with tubes but drives my Salk Song3s with authority.

jjss49,

Not any meaner than...

"So the only reason to buy anything made in China is either full on outright ignorance, or an obsession with cheaping out strong enough to override all that. Or both."

Every now and then, reality check is in order.
