Pass Labs 150.8 and XP-20 versus PrimaLuna Dialogue Premier HP integrated

Hello all!

Considering moving from PL to Pass Labs 150.8 and XP 20. Thinking about moving to separates and Solid state. The PL sounds awesome but I think I want a bit more punch on the low end and overall fullness. 

Would love to to hear feedback.

Prima Luna is outclassed in every way vs the new Passlabs 
.8 series, even their integrated amp for sure will beat any Prima Luna combinations which I have heard several ,and for the record quality U.S made products 
are far better build and engineered especially A Nelsen Pass 
designed piece of Electronics !! And resale no comparison.

The pass labs is much better sounding as well as engineering built , one of prima luna biggest weaknesses  is its volume attenuator ,still using a Low price Alps volume pots 

which is a $20 item and cost a lot in detail ,especially low level., vs a good shunt resistor pot, or relay type.

i have been into mods for over 20 years ,and I trust Nelson Pass much more so then anything built in China .
