The PrimaLuna EVO 200 integrated amp is all about delivering a rich, musical experience that sets it apart from the competition. If you’ve never heard a serious valve amplifier, this is the perfect place to start. Its beautiful midrange brings out the details in human voices and acoustic instruments like magic, making music sound alive and deeply engaging.

PrimaLuna ist ein Herzensprojekt – sehr schlau umgesetzt. Beide EVO-Amps tönen mit dem typischen, gewünschten Röhren-Sound, aber in die Neuzeit transferiert. Die Kombination mit Analyse ohne Härte und die Lust an der Dynamik sind selten am Weltmarkt – jedenfalls zu diesen Preisen. Gibt es Kompromisse? Nein, weder im Klang noch in der Präzision der Fertigung – und die Adaptive Auto Bias wird auf Jahre den möglichen Tausch der Röhren vereinfachen. Der Unterschied zwischen Modell 100 und 200 ist hörbar, aber undramatisch. Schon der kleine Bruder verführt maximal.

PrimaLuna has managed, through efficient design and streamlined manufacturing, to push the price of their products down to a level that could also be described as an investment with an absolute bargain. And the EVO 200 Tube Integrated Amplifier is no exception!

Top-Qualität in allen Teilen

EVO 200 wydaje się nie mieć żadnych kompleksów zarówno w stosunku do podobnie wycenionych wzmacniaczy półprzewodnikowych, jak i konstrukcji sporo droższych. To otwarta na różne warianty brzmienia integra, proponująca jeszcze szlachetniejszy i bardziej angażujący dźwięk niż EVO 100. Aby jednak móc ocenić jej brzmienie w szerszym kontekście, tj. na tle aktualnej oferty PrimaLuny, muszę jeszcze sprawdzić przynajmniej EVO 300. Mam nadzieję, że już niebawem mi się to uda.

If you’re in the market for an integrated amp under £3k, the Evo 200 needs to be at the top of your shortlist!

Un amplificador a válvulas ideal para quien no quiera complicarse con las válvulas. No hace falta ser técnico en nada, ni meticuloso, ni obsesivo con su conservación. Me gustan las cosas sencillas, cuando quiero escuchar música… quiero escuchar música. Este integrado está diseñado con esta idea.

Nessun impastamento ... ogni nota tenuta il tempo necessario.

"

Con unempuje y un control genuinamente "solid state", esta electrónica de audio aparentemente convencional brilla gracias a la creatividad de su nada convencional ingeniería

"

Le componenti materiche sono molto buone, il corpo è imponente, i passaggi di tastiera hanno un’incidenza eccezionale con un bel punch.

"

The EVO is not like my weighty solid-state Krell. This is pure valve heaven, producing a lustre to the music that was highly engaging

"

The PrimaLuna has enough power to work with a good selection of speakers.

"

It is a tube amplifier that offers all the attributes that devices of this type are loved for. But it is also not a "retro" amplifier, but an example of a modern use of this technology carried out in a really very good way.

"

The PrimaLuna EVO 200 has been a pleasure to review. It delivers a tuneful musicality, with body and fluidity that makes music listening more addictive then you though it could be. Music is painted with slightly warmer than neutral strokes, which makes listening to a wider array of recording that much more enjoyable. Sounding consistently solid, firm and bigger than its power rating might suggest, the EVO 200 integrated amplifier from PrimaLuna offers tremendous value and I can see it being an end-game for many enthusiasts

"

PrimaLuna’s EVO 200 really impressed me. I’ve seen too many bonkers tube amps that only thrive with one particular type of loudspeaker or music type in my time – yet this is a great, sensible, middle-of-the-road design that’s obviously very well engineered.

"

This is an exceptional valve amplifier that is consistently easy to live with, beautifully made and possessed of the power needed to make it practical with many modern loudspeaker designs and is likely to appeal to a far wider spread of potential buyers than might initially have been expected. Verdict: 5 stars, Recommended component!
