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 .

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.

Skip the PrimaLuna and go for Mystere. This is the high-end division of the same company. You don't pay any more for the upgrade but you may be happier in the long run. From my experience, you don't Mystere equipment for resale (at least not yet anyway). Check out the Mystere pa11 ($1995) or pa21 ($2995).
