PrimaLuna EVO 300 Hybrid Integrated Tube Amplifier

Description

Take your audio experience to the next level with the marvel of engineering that is the PrimaLuna EVO 300 Hybrid Integrated Tube Amplifier, an Ex Display unit available in black. Since its inception in 2003, PrimaLuna has been marrying affordability with the sheer sonic beauty of valves, drawing audiophiles around the globe with its reliable, meticulously designed range of valve amplifiers. Making a monumental stride forward in the illustrious lineage, PrimaLuna’s latest addition to the EvoLution family changes the game entirely – it’s not just a valve amp, it’s a harmonious blend of cutting-edge valve and solid-state technologies.

This first-of-its-kind powerhouse is the result of a collaboration with Floyd Design, the innovative solid-state design arm of Durob Audio, PrimaLuna’s parent company. Together, these two titans of the audio industry have painstakingly designed a hybrid amplifier that successfully taps into the best traits of both valve and solid-state worlds, a feat previously attempted by many with varying degrees of success. The exquisite finesse of valves meets the raw power and control of solid-state within a single chassis, creating a seamless sonic symphony that is the EVO 300. By utilizing compatible solid-state components, namely MOSFETs, in the power stages, and marrying it with PrimaLuna’s preamp stage, the resulting hybrid amp transcends the norm, offering an unparalleled audio experience that’s not just pleasing to the eyes, but audibly superior.

After countless fine-tuning and listening tests, the effortless fusion of valve and solid-state technologies yields highly impressive sound quality in the form of stellar dynamic range, expansive stereo imaging, expressive mid and high frequencies, and rich, resonant bass. Form meets function in a stunning harmony in the EVO 300, marking another impressive milestone in PrimaLuna’s mission to keep pushing the envelope of audio excellence.
