@aberyclark, the Primaluna Prologue is decent although the bass is a bit too loose for my tastes. I thought the autobias feature while convenient is a bit gimmicky. I prefer manual biasing. The newer Jolidas are nice, don't overlook them due to posts from the past about QC. I have a Jolida 3502 and it is simply superb. Bettered the Primaluna in every way and I have owned it for a year without issues. As others have said, Quicksilver amps are also really nice for the money.
I've decided to try Tubes
I have been going back and forth a while. I was thinking of the Yamaha AS2100 to replace my B&K amp (ZU audio Omen Def speakers). For some reason I now have a tube bug. I first thought about DECWARE and now thinking of Primaluna after reading great reviews. If tubes are not for me, both should be easy to resell. I have an opportunity on a Primaluna Prolouge 5 stereo power amp. It has autobias (which is a must for me) and is easy to roll tubes. It comes with KT88's which seem to have better lower end than el34's (from what I read). 35 watts per ch is more than enough to drive my Omen Defs loud if needed (101 db).
Thought's on the PrimaLuna and ZU combo (Peachtree NOVA-PRE)? I listen to Classic Jazz, Classical and Classic - Prog Rock mostly.
