I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative?


The curved cage on Primaluna amplifiers is extremely ugly. Their shiny cases do not help. Visually, they are worse than forgettable. I like the look of Line Magnetic amps, but they sound terrible. Is there a decent alternative?

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I am less interested in Audio art work than in I am in beautiful sound. I think the PR’s look fine but there are many better sounding amps to be had regardless of what Stereophile says. Their reviews are meaningless, bought and paid for. Just my opinion of course.
One of the parties involved in the manufacture of Prima Luna amps has a sideline in imprisoning winners of the Nobel Peace prize among other nasty things. Beauty is only skin deep but ugly is to the bone!

@defiantboomerang,

If you decide to go with decware, let me know your thoughts.
@mdeblanc , I once owned the Decware ZMA and I do consider it a work of art and sounded pretty darn good too. I sold it for the ugly duckling LTA ZOTL 40 and the sound has me hooked for life.
This is a hobby about the love of music.  What the H does it matter?  I owned a pair of VTL Deluxe 300 for 15 years... now those things look like something resurrected in a Mad Max movie.  "Industrial"-looking is a compliment.  I had to close one eye to look at them.

I own a PrimaLuna HP integrated... I think it is nice looking.  But hey... I care about the music.

Peace
