£3,650 is ambitious rather than a bargain: it sits well above the £2,964 median and £3,310 75th-percentile asking prices from 15 recent comparables. Without unusually strong provenance, a recent valve refresh, or exceptional condition, a buyer should expect negotiation; around £3,000–£3,300 would look more comfortably market-aligned.
The EVO 400 remains a highly desirable valve integrated: powerful 70W-per-channel ultralinear operation, a sweeter 38W triode option, adaptive auto-bias, selectable 4/8-ohm taps, headphone and subwoofer outputs, and home-theatre bypass make it unusually flexible. Its hard-wired construction and bad-tube indicators are practical advantages, while the ability to run EL34, KT88 or KT120 valves broadens ownership options. At this asking price, confirm the remote, all original valves, quiet operation, and recent service history before paying a premium.
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.
