It has the switchable UL/triode feature, so according to the specs with the 34s somewhere around 70UL 40triode.It can take the new 150's and I would imagine it bumps it a bit. Specs only show the 120's @85.
The wattage thing wasn't a factor for me.Still nice having the extra juice.
No plans soon for an upgrade of 8 which would be $$ouch!Originally had plans for an extravagant cart splurge glad I didn't.
But eventually I will give in and indulge..but not anytime soon.
Forgot how nice it is to have a remote also!

I glanced at that new Prima Luna in a magazine ad because most of their other integrated amps are under powered for my Thiel speakers. I'm not using the Thiels at the moment but I have to keep them in mind. Once I get the basement finished and have my dedicated listening room again, the Thiels will be hungry for some power. ;-)
How does the new 'high power' Prima Luna compare to your old one? I don't recall if the remote does input switching or just basic Volume Up/Down?
Yup, KT120s or KT150s might be fun to try someday but they're EXPENSIVE, especially for 8 of them!!
Dagogo will be out with a review of the power amp version shortly (advance word is very impressive).
Stereophile is doing a review of the integrated.
My current speakers are pretty average(89)sensitivity and the old amp(40 watts)didn't appear to struggle.
If I had a bigger budget, I would have gone full force-the Dialogue HP separates-monoblocs 175 watts/channe(KT120)l-that's cookin' with gas!
$800 bucks in glass Yikes!
The remote could double as a weapon.Nice heavy chunky aluminum full function-input,mute, tri/UL switching and no plastic parts.
Listen to HP series if you get a chance. Impressive for the price.
