Since 2003, PrimaLuna has created tube amplifiers with a unique construction found nowhere else. Their technologies bring you closer to the music at a price you won't believe. Nothing else comes close.
The driving force behind PrimaLuna is one of high-end audio’s most astute and colourful figures, Herman van den Dungen. It’s been said that many successful, creative people “march to the beat of a different drummer,” but it’s the ability to get others to hear your tune and march with you that distinguishes the most accomplished. Van den Dungen is undoubtedly one of them.
From the outset, the company’s objective was clear, yet extremely challenging and incredibly complex: create a product with extraordinary sound and sophisticated performance that would bring back to the fold the older, experienced hi-fi enthusiasts who had gone the home theater or solid state route and found it lacking. Further, make that same product relatively inexpensive and easy to use in order to attract those neophytes who had shied away from tubes. Finally, incorporate safeguards to make the product more reliable than any other on the market. To top it all off, make it so beautiful it takes your breath away.
The PrimaLuna team took a long-term, deliberate, methodical approach with the guiding principle that the product had to be perfect. They spent close to three years developing and producing the introductory ProLogue Series and what became of that time and effort is the stuff that makes audio legend. The first PrimaLuna products, the ProLogue One and Two integrated amplifiers, were released in 2003 in Europe and immediately captured superlatives from the continent’s most influential reviewers. In 2004, their release in the U.S. was met with equal, unbridled enthusiasm. PrimaLuna had produced what no one thought possible: exquisitely-sounding, reasonably-priced, highly-reliable components with features found in gear costing three to five times as much.
The minds behind PrimaLuna possess a sincere desire to bring something unique to hi-fi enthusiasts, from beginners to tried-and-true audiophiles. They want people to feel that when they purchase any PrimaLuna, they’ve bought a truly special product: that when they open the box and take it out, they’re thoroughly surprised by the beauty and build quality and that when they finally play it, they’re completely swept away. Think of that moment when you were a child and opened a present at Christmas to find something far more wonderful than anything you’d imagined. That’s the PrimaLuna experience, one they try to impart with every component they produce.
