Cyril.......When I reviewed the PrimaLuna ProLogue Premium integrated amplifier I had no real issues driving my Sonus faber Amati Anniversario speakers. The PrimaLuna ProLogue Premium delivers 40 watts with KT88 tubes (35 watts with EL34 tubes). I did managed to clip the amplifier at one point while listening to a Paul Hardcastle recording at about 1:00 o'clock on the volume control with the strong kick drum throughout a particular tune, but turning down the volume slightly solved the issue. No 35 watt or 40 watt amplifier is a "perfect" match for most modern speaker designs but in a small room you can still achieve robust volume with this power level. Considering the 91 dB sensitivity of the SF Cremona SE speakers I suspect Esteban will be pleased with his Primaluna Dialogue One performance although he may eventually seek an amplifier with more power.
