Which Primaluna amp ?

Prolouge 6 $1959 on sale
Prolouge 7 $2589 on sale
Prolouge Premium $ 2399
Dialouge 4 $2399
Dialouge 5 $2799

I have no way of auditioning these . My speakers are Proac Response 2.5 . They are 83db efficient . My listening room is 20x15 with 8' ceilings . I have the room fully treated. I will be using a Wyred4sound dac2 as a pre for a while. I listen to rock,pop,jazz,ect... My idea of a good sounding system is when you turn up the volume it does not become fatiguing .

Has anyone contacted Primaluna ? How is their customer service in regards to helping choose an amp ? Or do they suggest a dealer for this info ? Thanks in advance .

I'll second Rich on Kevin Deal. He's a PL dealer (I believe that he was, and may still be, the PL importer) so he'll be wearing a sales guy's hat. Nevertheless, - IME - Kevin's a pretty straight shooter and a good guy.

BTW, I've had PL mono amps for several years. Reliable, great sounding, great fun w/ plug 'n' play tube rolling.

I have heard the PrimaLuna amps with ProAc speakers, and it is a nice combo. You list some of their newer models here though, which I am not familiar with. I have a Dialogue 2 integrated and like it very much. I have heard it and a few of the older models on the ProAc Studio 140's, which I think have a bit more efficiency than the ones you list, but I am not certain of this.

Pl 's website does not list specs ? All the amps listed are close enough in price to be in my price range . Why so many in such a close price range ? I will take the advice and try and reach kevin deal. I did submit an inquiry with PL yesterday , waiting for a email back or call from Pl.

I know this in not on topic, but you can buy a used pair of Quicksilver V4 in yur price range. They are a great match with your speakers, especially with EL-34 tubes.

Assuming you buy Primaluna amps try them with EL-34 tubes. The Response 2.5 are not very efficient so I would get the most powerful Primaluna that will run EL-34 tubes.
