Another consideration for your Prima Luna valve amp...and depending on the type of music you listen to....would be a well-sorted pair of Quad 57 Electrostatic speakers. If you listen to vocal, jazz, classical, they are unbeatable. A bit left of centre these days...they were released by Quad in 1957...they consistently top the lists of the world's all time best speakers, and even after 60 years, they are superb at what they do best....MUSIC. A good (refurbished) pair of Quad 57s from the mid 1970s would cost about $3K or so:
Thanks John,

I'll take a look at those BR1's... my current speakers rate at 92db sensitivity (allegedly) so, we'll see how well the new amp drives them first....

Googled the Quad 57's... my god.. they'd take up half my spare room.. They certainly look a little different... I've never listened to Electrostats... must remedy that one day...

Cheers
