Hi interesting thread, I got a question, is the dialogue premium any good with power hungry speakers like magnepans or is the hp more realistic for speakers like that?
Primaluna Dialogue Premium or Premium HP?
I am hoping for some feedback from anyone who has experience with the PL Premium or HP. I have a Dialogue One now, that I really love! I have B&W 803N speakers, which are notorious for being hard to drive. However, this Dialogue drives them wonderfully. Now, the bug has got me, and I'm thinking to upgrade, to get clearer, cleaner (still tubes) sound, and a bit more power for bass control and power.
That said, I'm considering either the Dialogue Premium or the Dialogue Premium HP integrated amp. I am able to get a good deal on the HP, making the cost difference unimportant. Any thoughts on the difference in the two? Only once, I read that the HP has more power but less finesse. Anyone have experience with both who could comment on this? Or other considerations? Which would you choose if cost weren't the object? Of course, saying that... going to separates would be cost prohibitive. I know I'd see even more improvement with separates, but don't want to spend that cash now.
And, there isn't an option for me to audition them next to each other. I'm going on faith and my current PL experience... and hopefully the collective knowledge of this forum.
Thanks!
