PrimaLuna at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show






As in previous years, we used the Sonus faber Amati Anniversario loudspeakers to audition our main PrimaLuna system. This year we used the Product of the Year Award winning DiaLogue Seven monoblocks, and we debuted the all new DiaLogue Three preamplifier and ProLogue Premium CD player (both pieces due out in North America in March).


This year we saw a big boost in traffic at our rooms. Throughout each day the seats in the listening area were nearly always full, and we had even more people checking out equipment displayed in the front area.




These three gentleman are all admiring the new DiaLogue Three preamplifier. Most of the attendees that visited our suite were very interested in the new DiaLogue Three, which has some great new features such as the all 12AU7 front-end as found in the ProLogue Premium series, as well as massive dual-mono transformers that make the preamp weigh almost as much as the DiaLogue amplifiers!

The room was so busy at times we had everyone working. Jared and Cy were auditioning the system with some prospective dealers in the lower area of the suite. Meanwhile, we have Herman discussing new products with Dick Olsher, reviewer for The Absolute Sound, and senior editor at EnjoyTheMusic.com while Kevin is talking with another reviewer about the Mystere preamps and power amps.


This is, a reviewer for Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity. Kevin is explaining some of the differences between the PrimaLuna and Mystere products.

Kevin and PrimaLuna USA's office manager Jill, with Bruno De Lormier. Bruno is one of our Canadian reps, and was a great help in our booth this year, answering questions and setting up demos for the folks that came into listen.


Here is Kevin with Anthony Chiarella, our newly appointed rep for the metro New York area. Anthony is also an accomplished writer and reviewer, and we look forward to having his expert advice for current and up-coming products.

These girls were a riot! They were at CES to promote the Salon Son & Image Hi-fi Expo in Montreal coming at the end of March. If you're going to be in Montreal March 25-28, make some time to visit the show and check out the PrimaLuna booth! The 25th is industry only, but the other 3 days are open to the public.
