I don’t know about the accuphase, but others seem to like it and it has a great reputation. The PL, to me, is a boring sounding tube amp. You can do much better for that money. Do you need that much power? I would investigate PASS, AYRE (both ss) and VAC, if accuphase isn’t already a done deal.
Prima Luna Vs Accupahse
I am looking to get out of my Arcam SA20 and upgrade soon. I have the opportunity to get a good deal on both a used Prima Luna Evo300 Hybrid and used Accuphase E-280. My main speakers for now are the Focal Aria 936K2 but plan on getting Tannoy’s later. Which one would yall say is the better amp. Thank yoi!

I had Accuphase, think it was E213, their entry model, and for that price you can get mid-high PrimaLuna models. So hard to compare, where Accuphase begins, Primaluna almost ends:) Also, quite different sound. Went from Accuphase integrated, to Primaluna preamp+Pass labs power amp, to now Primaluna 300 Hybrid. |
@edwinf i am in a very similar situation right now, i guess a couple of year after this conversation started, I am very curious about what your decision was and what was/is your experience. I would love if you could share your insights. |
