Why is there no love for Prima Luna?
I had the PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP Integrated for many years and really enjoyed it. It was surely a step up from the Cary SLI80 I had been using. I listen to classical and acoustic jazz. My only problem was that the sound seemed somewhat dry ... 
Best integrated up to $6000
