Delicacy, detail, and power, from a whisper to a scream. To my mind this is what an integrated amplifier needs to deliver and the PrimaLuna EVO 300 proved to be a heavyweight champ. What’s more, the EVO 300 operates from a place of crystalline clarity with a rich timbral voice, a real marriage of strengths made in hifi heaven. Add in iron-fisted control and you’ve got one helluva highly recommended integrated amplifier from me and my hifi underground. Bravo!

PrimaLuna EVO 300 Hybrid je poměrně překvapivý úkrok stranou z dosavadního směřování elektronkami proslulého výrobce. Navenek se liší od svých čistě lampových souputníků jen nepatrně, pod kapotou pak podstatně více a zvukově až diametrálně – je to prakticky čistě „tranzistorový“ zvuk, jen okrajovým dotekem zjemněný vřelostí lamp. Pokud si ale ceníte neutrality, transparentnosti a absence líbivých gest, je EVO 300 Hybrid velmi atraktivním přístrojem, který si váží původního charakteru a jen nemnoho do něj zasahuje.

We still feel we are listening to an "all-tube" amplifier, but at the output with power, punch and speed previously unheard of. In hi-fi, I have seen –till now- hybrid technology as a compromise and never an ideal solution. After listening to the EVO 300 Hybrid, I have to revise this opinion fundamentally. And I do it with enormous pleasure!

The combination of tubes and transistors as offered by the EVO 300 Hybrid deserves my greatest admiration and appreciation. At its core, PrimaLuna has managed to remove the fundamental ills of tubes and, in turn, preserve everything we love about tubes – the richness, plasticity, great dynamics and detail of their sonic expression. Their patented circuitry in the power section suppresses the transistor effect to a minimum, we still have the feeling that we are listening to an “all tube” amplifier, but at the output with a vehemence, punch and speed previously unheard of. In hifi, I have so far seen hybrid technology as a compromise, and it is never an ideal solution. After listening to the EVO 300 Hybrid, I have to modify this opinion in a fundamental way. And I do it with immense pleasure!

This is arguably one of the best amplifiers a non-valve person could hear, and might even worry valve heads – as it did me! Well worth auditioning if you are in the market for a top amplifier!

It didn’t take me long to rank in my mind the PrimaLuna EVO300 Hybrid Integrated as the Best PrimaLuna ever. I’ll go further: it’s a strong contender for Best Hybrid Integrated of the Year 2021!

PrimaLuna has achieved a fine feat with the EVO 300 Hybrid, conjoining the best aspects of both valve and solid-state into a reasonably affordable amplifier that sounds thoroughly modern, transparent, open and enjoyable. Its general punch and bass heft will suit those with inefficient loudspeakers or large listening rooms, but this amplifier also works wonders with smaller sized loudspeakers – letting them reach their full potential. The pricing of this amplifier is where it should be and is good value compared to separates but without all the fussiness. Do try to audition it – you may just walk out of your local dealer with it under your arm, if you're strong enough!

To create such an impeccably integrated unit from the tube input to the transistor output is very difficult. Still, the developers of the EVO 300 Hybrid, in my opinion, have been one hundred per cent successful!

We can be proud that the Dutch can perform this way on the global audio market, and PrimaLuna will undoubtedly continue its success with this Floyd Design EVO 300 Hybrid.

I dare anyone who is currently using a PrimaLuna tube preamp and a solid-state power amplifier from another brand to compare it to this EVO 300 Hybrid and listen with an open mind. And be prepared to spend less money on vacation for the next couple of years!
