I made up my mind what to buy for Triangle Celius

Chul Hee, something to consider is that the PrimaLuna ProLogue Two can use either EL34s or KT88s, so you'll have extra flexibility by going with the ProLogue Two if you can swing the extra $250.

Good luck, as Jond says that should be a great match!

EL34 is the key!!! triangle loves tubes!!
And tell us what cd player did you decide to buy?

Chul Hee:

You might as well hear from somebody who owns a Prima Luna ... well, two Prima Lunas to be precise ... the Prologue 2 integrated and the Prologue 5 power amp. I went with both the P2 & P5, because they have better parts and they gave me the options of using different tubes.

The KT 88 tube has warmth and gives you both midrange and bass. The bass is tuneful and it has oomph, as well. I used the P2 originally with Omega Super 3 speakers ... high sensitivity, single driver monitors and was glad that I had the extra bass reinforcement.

Okay. Primaluna Prologue Two is the winner then.
Now I have to research on CD players. Oh my, It never ends.
Any recomandation for a cheap but decent one? it already went over my budget for the amp and speakers.

Thank you,
Chulhee

IMHO EL34s are great in the mids and highs but give up too much bass. Personally I think KT88s just sound better and I don't think you will hear all the music the Celius has to offer with the EL34s. Just because they are sensitive does not mean the Triangles wouldn't appreciate the bottom end of the music spectrum appiled from an amp that can extend down. You just don't have to crank it up to hear clean tight bass. I agree with Gunbei, the Prologue 2 would be more flexible and worth the extra $250. Also, I would think the the 2 would hold it's resale value better, if that is important to you. I think this is a no brainer, go with the 2 and roll your tubes and see where the chips fall for you. After all it is what your ears hear that matters. Enjoy the music.
