Prima Luna Dialogue series, is it worth the money?


I was trying to decide between the Prima Luna Prologue Premium integrated, and the Prima Luna Dialog 1, or 2. Has anyone compared these two series of integrated amps. I'm just trying to decide, if it's worth spending the extra money to get the Dialogue. What are the sonic differences? Thank you.

prima luna has announced that they support KT-120 in all their KT-88 compatible amps now. Got mine yesterday and after a few hours of rocky break in they proved wonderful for bass slam and dynamic openness. Don't think I'm putting the KT-88's back in anytime soon
I'm a former Hollywood film composer and sound mixer, and the Dialogue Premium fitted with matched Tung Sol KT120's, coupled with the Prima Luna Classic Tube CD player, driving a pair of Martin Logan Electrostatic hybrids, is the equal to the best 2 channel analog system I've ever heard (Krell-Apogee) at less than 1/4 the cost. I have two SVS 13" Ultra sealed Subwoofers hooked up thru the Dialogue Sub out, crossing over at 40hz,, and the combo was absolutely gripping. Tremendous transient detail, but with a creamy liquid center. I literally can't wait to wake up, turn the Prima Luna gear on, let it warm up for 15 minutes over the paper and a cup of coffee, and spend the morning re-discovering my CD collection for the first time.... 5 stars across the board!
I started with a Prologue 2 and upgraded to a Dialogue 2. I love the flexibility of the triode/ultra linear mode and use it often depending on the music I am playing. Increasing the volume in triode mode on some music has a major impact on space between the instruments, soundstage, and naturalness of the voice and instruments.
All I can say is I love by DiaLogue Two which I purchased used. Ask Upscale Audio to let you konw when a used one becomes available, you will not be disappointed. Great value.
