PrimaLuna EVO 300 Hybrid Poweramplifier
Since 2003 PrimaLuna has been building pure valve amplifiers with a clear mission: delivering high-performance valve-based audio components at affordable prices, resolving the reliability issues that had often dissuaded people from investing in the sonic beauty of valves. Our current, much-acclaimed EvoLution range spans 12 valve amplifiers – integrated amps, preamps and power amps across four price tiers – as well as a valve-based DAC.
In 2021, we revolutionized the audio world with the PrimaLuna EVO 300 Hybrid Integrated Amplifier, marking our first venture into hybrid amplification. Partnering with Floyd Design, the solid-state development department of Durob, we combined the best of both worlds: the effusive fluidity of valves and the power and control of solid-state technology. Building on this success, our expert designers, led by Herman van den Dungen, have spent years perfecting our latest model – the PrimaLuna EVO 300 Hybrid Poweramplifier, launching in 2024!
