PrimaLuna Evo400iIntegrated Amplifier (Solid State) I am moving to active speakers, so am (reluctantly) selling my current set up (PrimaLuna amp and Harbeth speakers). I purchased this amp new and it hasn't had a whole lot of use. It includes all the original EL34 tubes. The buyer will also receive matched sets of Gold Lion KT88s and Gold Lion 12AX7s, which I never installed (approx $2800 worth of new valves). I won't separate the new tubes from the purchase of the amp. This modern tube amplifier has the magical warmth and depth of tubes with modern world technologies applied to it to make
This is a well-regarded high-end tube integrated, and A$5,900 looks fair to slightly strong rather than a bargain. The new-price anchor is around A$9,700, and current used-market signals put a comparable asking level around the middle-to-upper part of the range, so this is not a cheap score, but it is not out of line if the unit is clean and complete.
What makes it worth a look is the usual PrimaLuna appeal: big, fluid midrange, generous drive for a valve amp, and enough flexibility to work with a wide spread of speakers. The extra upside is in condition and accessories — original box, remote, spare tubes, and evidence of light use matter here. At this price, I’d want confirmation it’s running quietly, switching properly between ultralinear and triode, and hasn’t needed recent tube or service work.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
PrimaLuna, a boutique Dutch hi-fi brand, emerged in 2003 from the vision of Herman van den Dungen, a seasoned industry veteran with over 40 years of experience. Born in the Netherlands, van den Dungen had built his reputation earlier through Durob Audio, founded in 1975 as one of the first high-end importers in the Benelux region. Drawing on decades of tinkering with vintage radios and turntables, he launched PrimaLuna to democratize elite tube amplification, blending European design ingenuity with rigorous quality oversight in Chinese manufacturing.
The brand specializes exclusively in vacuum tube amplifiers, including integrated, power, and preamplifier models across series like ProLogue, DiaLogue, and EVO. PrimaLuna's hallmark is its unique construction—point-to-point wiring, custom transformers, and tube rectification—prioritizing sonic purity, longevity, and minimal servicing needs over broader categories like speakers, DACs, or turntables.
Positioned as high-end yet accessible, PrimaLuna occupies a niche among tube enthusiasts, earning acclaim for delivering "joyous cost-value surprises" through reliable, musically engaging performance that rivals pricier competitors. Its reputation for dependability and superb sound has solidified its status among discerning audiophiles worldwide, underscoring Dutch precision in a crowded market.
