Has Anyone Uesed A PrimaLuna Amp With Harbeth Speaker's


Hi guys, I will be on the market soon for a new amp and I keep looking at the Primaluna Amps, has anyone heard the Primaluna Dialogue Premium amp driving a pair of Harbeth's 30.1 speakers? these are 87d/b and I am not sure how this will work out?

I am not sure about quality control issues, but I did have an issue with my Primaluna HP integrated leaking noise between inputs, which made me wonder if the input relay was in fact doing anything. Kevin assured me this was not an issue but it bothered me enough to sell it. The prologue 3 preamp / prologue 5 amp had no such issue and I didn’t think upgrading to the HP integrated would leave me feeling regretful. But sometimes we just get the short straw. I since upgraded to a Backert Rhumba 1.2 preamp and Paradox Pulse Monoblocks and I will say the dynamics and noise floor alone, are in another league.

We should all remember there is no brand that lacks competition.
Just buy it used and you can’t go wrong in my book. I got a prologue 3 preamp for $850 and prologue 5 amp for $900 both brand new, just by staying a mode behind the current line up. I do feel the quality control was much better so that’s worth it alone IMO. Even a dialogue 2 integrated would be my choice over the current dialogue “premium” integrated.
