I had Dialogue integrated and traded it for a Dialogue HP integrated. (Had a tube Mac prior then a Hegel). I rolled the supplied el34’s to KT 120’s to power sonus faber’s that needed more to drive them. It’s around four years old now. No problems. The integrated comes with a proper thick gauge power cord. (I did upgrade that as I have a bit of the bug). I moved that to a sub.
My hifi friends also dig it and a fancy mono block friend was “stunned”.
I put anther HP in my office and kept the 34’s as the speakers on that set up don’t need more power.
On the KT120 rig I also put in a fancy fuse. Ok on that I think it mattered but I’m not sure.
On both I run 10G Off the spool OFC wire. The 4ohm taps made a large difference. It also has 8's.
I like the look of 34’s because they glow more than 120’s. I’m a visual artist.
I run a sub on both.
The remote control is made of metal and is solid/heavy as are the very well built PL’s.
If you want that warm tube sound you’ll get it. Mostly my listening is Jazz but Rock/Coffeehouse/Classical and Reggie all sound great.
Do believe the hype. Or believe my wife who as I was typing this said to turn it up (Kurt Elling then onto Ben Peterson).
