Unison Research Simply Italy or Primaluna Dialogue


Searching for a small tube integrated for 93dB single-drive speaker. Remote control is a must, so the Sophia Baby and Leben are out. For under $3K the priority lies in tonal color, satuation, liquidity and coherence (for vocal and classical). I know there are other popular alternatives like Cary Sli-80 and Manley Stigray, but let's narrow down to Unison Research Simply Italy and Primaluna Dialogue int.

Has anybody heard both? I like Primaluna's flexibility to fit different tube types, but when power rating is not an issue, using less output devices (one single tube per channel with the Simply Italy) normally yields better purity.

I owned the Primaluna D2 and the Stingray and the Manley absolutely crushes the PLD2. Not even in the same hemisphere...
