@sc53 Yes I want a rich warm sound. Detailed but musical and not anilytcal. I heard both of these amps are that. Im not too worry about bass as my room is small and if I ever move to a bigger room I can just add a pair of subs. Thanks, it seema like Accupahse os getting the majority of votes.
Prima Luna Vs Accupahse
I am looking to get out of my Arcam SA20 and upgrade soon. I have the opportunity to get a good deal on both a used Prima Luna Evo300 Hybrid and used Accuphase E-280. My main speakers for now are the Focal Aria 936K2 but plan on getting Tannoy’s later. Which one would yall say is the better amp. Thank yoi!

@fatdaddy2 yes all the gear I am looking to buy is used . |
@wsrrsw thanks for the input. Accuphase seems to be the winner here. |
@audioman58 thanks for the input. I wish I could hear any of them first but Im sure I can go wrong with the Accuphase. Im looking for a rich' warm sound but still detailed with good holographic imaging. My Arcam SA20 has been goos but its been 4 years since Ive had it now. My room is small so I dont need lots of power.its only about 13×14. I found a good deal on a used Accuphase E-280 on Ebay so its a no brainer. |
I own the PL integrated amp and the Focal 936s. I’m in heaven. I rolled to the 150 power tubes and have two Rel Subs. The synergy is sublime.... IMHO
edit: FWIW...... I do not have the hybrid PL, straight tubes. For what it’s worth, my digital end, a separate streamer and dac... fairly high end at 6k and 5k, the Focals are way brighter than my analog side; a tube phono pre amp and the PL. Not unbearably bright.... just brighter. Another way I'd describe my sound is: My analog side is, as you put it.... " rich warm sound, Detailed and above all, musical. My digital side is analytical and more bright. I like both sides for it gives me variety. Both sides take me places my car can't! Both sides blow me away. |
