Prologue 2 Integrated Work Well With Axiom M80Tis?

Leroyc33, you are way off base in your assumptions. A good speaker is designed to be a good speaker. I donr know of any speakers that are dessigned to work with on or the other. 91 dB can be driven to good volume with 2 watts per side.

I am not a fan of the prima luna, its overhyped and is made in Chineese sweat shops. Parts are all cheap and not audiophile grade. A lot of add money has been spent on this product . Stay away from it. For same money look for made in North America gear.

Rouge has a nice Inregrated in the 1500.00 used range. Give it a try. The primaluna is a far inferior product.

Leroyc33,
I have a Cayin TA 30 tube amp. that is 35 watts it looks almost identical to the primaluna amps.in fact I think that the only difference basically is that you have to Bias the Cayin by hand and the primaluna has a auto biasing. The Cayin will play thr Axiom M80ti's just fine. I have (4)Axiom 80 ti (2) Axiom M22ti and (2) Axiom M3ti plus many other speakers including Salk HT3 Signature Veracity. If you want tubes try the Cayin TA-30 around $600.00 to $700.00 on Audiogon.

The Primaluna Prologue 2 should work fine with the Axioms. I'm using the P2 to drive speakers with similar specs (90dB sensitivity, 4 ohm impedance with fairly flat impedance curve). I was also ambivalent about buying a Chinese made amp, but more for political and social reasons (i.e., Chinese labor practices and environmental record). The design and build quality of the Primaluna is not an issue. They are excellent in both regards, especially for the money.

The PLII should fine.I am currently using it in my susyem and couldn't be happier-check my previous "best system" post.It also has a return policy.PCs can tighten the bass as compared to the standard Belden.

I would be most happy to have somebody give the name of Mapleleafs3 and address, e-mail etc. He just recently posted a negative review on the PrimaLuna Pro 2 saying it looked cheap sounded horrible, etc. Also made the same statement about the Ah! Tjoeb CD player. They were so blatant they were pulled by audioreview.com

For him to say it uses cheap parts flys in the face of every word from owners and reviewers alike. It's finish and build was compared to an Aston Martin by a reviewer that had done a photo shoot on the cars for publication. This mapleleafs3 fellow pumps Rogue Audio real hard in most every post, and I consider Mark O'brien of Rogue a friend. But there assembly is quite different than ours.

PrimaLuna is the only brand that makes a point of taking apart every model in high resolution photos of the inside. Who else will do that? We don't say we use "Alps Potetiometers" but the Alps Blue Velvet which is much more costly.

Forgive me for being defensive so I will step down now. But something is smelly here.

One last thing on "sweat shops". Some of the most American names in audio get their circuit boards stuffed overseas. The PrimaLuna product is designed in Holland and all production is overseen by our people their. I would be most happy to compare service records to any brand tube or solid state.

I would be most happy to have a discussion with mapleleafs3 privately. But even more grateful for this persons identity.
