BAT is made in Delaware, Primaluna in China.
BAT certainly has the better reputation (it is one of the elite two-channel gear manufacturers).
All of that said, maybe the Primaluna sounds better. I rather doubt it, but anything is possible.
My general advice is to steer clear of Chinese two-channel gear, as it may be tough to get the same level of construction and warranty service that you would get with a better two-channel company in the U.S. The other issue is that some of the Chinese stuff is just plain junk -- you don't want too wind up with one those.
VAC, BAT, and Audio Research all make fine gear, and you are best off avoiding cheap wannabies
