PrimaLuna’s EVO 300 Hybrid Integrated Amplifier is a state-of-the-art amplification system that does more than expected for an investment that is less than expected.

The PrimaLuna EVO 300 Hybrid disrupted my preconception that pure tube amps are superior to amps with a solid state component. From the first note, the EVO 300 established itself as a modern classic, reproducing music fresh-scrubbed, juicy, spatially adroit, dynamically adept, and powerful. It possessed the liquidity and richness of a good tube amp, never crossing over into syrup or schmaltz. It boasts an undeniable aliveness that grabs you from the first note and never lets up. It's got drive. It engaged me in the music for many blissful hours.

I non molti apparecchi PrimaLuna che abbiamo esaminato in passato, soprattutto amplificatori valvolari, erano risultati essere prodotti molto interessanti sul piano delle prestazioni, costruiti in modo esemplare con impiego di componenti di livello non sempre eguagliato nemmeno in sistemi concorrenti di fascia ben più alta, e offerti ad un prezzo che poteva sorprendere solo in senso positivo. Questo modello ibrido aggiunge una potenza adeguata ad altoparlanti meno specialistici di quelli necessari con le valvole ed una sezione a stato solido di qualità indiscutibile, perfettamente integrata con quella valvolare per implementare uno dei migliori ibridi passati per la nostra redazione ed il nostro laboratorio.

Many have tried to combine tube sound with transistor power. But once a genuine tubebrand took on the task, the result was a synergy unlike any other!

Många har försökt förena rörljud med transistorkraft. Men när ett genuint rörmärke tagit sig an uppgiften, har det blivit en synergi utöver det vanliga.

This is the integrated amp I've been waiting decades for. It is neither bright nor texturally challenged; rather, it exudes musical finesse. And that means 3D soundstaging and the ability to wow the listener with the music’s fire and drama. A Dutch treat for the discriminating music lover

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!

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!

The space is free, transparent but not expansive. Smoothly developed, acoustically coherent, with overlapping timbres, but without crowding, oversaturating, and exaggerating the speakers. There is breath and reverb, audible even when other sounds pile up. The EVO 300 Hybrid handles these situations perfectly, and it retains its smoothness, clarity, and spatiality even at higher levels. And maybe it is in this area we can best hear the advantages of combining tubes and transistors.

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!

Kombinácia elektrónok a tranzistorov v podobe, v akej nám ho ponúka EVO 300 Hybrid,
"
si zaslúži môj najväčší obdiv a uznanie.PrimaLuna sa vo svojej podstate podarilo odstrániť základné neduhy elektrónok a naopak zachovať všetko, prečo máme elektrónky tak radi – sýtosť, plasticitu, skvelú dynamiku a detailnosť zvukového prejavu. Ich patentované zapojenia vo výkonovej časti potláčajú tranzistorový efekt na minimum, stále máme pocit, že počúvame „celolampový“ zosilňovač, ale na výstupe s prudkosťou, razanciou a rýchlosťou predtým neslýchanou. V oblasti hifi som doteraz hybridnú technológiu vnímal ako kompromis a ten nie je nikdy ideálnym riešením. Po vypočutí EVO 300 Hybrid musím tento svoj názor zásadným spôsobom upraviť. A robím to s nesmiernou radosťou-- High & Style Magazine - Mr Viktor Kubal (SK)

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!

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!

Ik daag iedereen die nu met een PrimaLuna buizen-voorversterker en een solid-state eindversterker van een ander merk speelt uit om deze EVO 300 Hybrid ernaast te zetten en er met een open mind naar te luisteren. Maar wees vervolgens wél bereid om de komende jaren wat minder uitbundig op vakantie te gaan.
