Overview

PrimaLuna EVO 300 Hybrid Power Amplifier

Tube-driven. MOSFET-powered. Stereo today, monoblocks tomorrow.

The PrimaLuna EVO 300 Hybrid Power Amplifier combines vacuum tube input stages with solid-state output power, delivering the character of tubes alongside the current delivery and speaker control of MOSFET amplification.

With 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 150 watts into 4 ohms, the EVO 300 Hybrid is built for demanding two-channel systems. Its switchable monoblock configuration offers a clear upgrade path, increasing rated output to 220 watts into 8 ohms or 300 watts into 4 ohms per amplifier.

 

Six 12AU7 vacuum tubes handle input gain and driver duties, while Linear Systems JFETs and custom Exicon MOSFETs form the solid-state amplification stages. The result is a purpose-built hybrid design that brings both technologies together in a dedicated power amplifier.

 

Key Features

  • Hybrid amplification: Six 12AU7 tubes paired with JFET and MOSFET solid-state circuitry.

  • 100W per channel: Rated stereo output into 8 ohms, increasing to 150W per channel into 4 ohms.

  • Monoblock capability: Use two amplifiers for 220W into 8 ohms or 300W into 4 ohms per channel.

  • Switchable gain: Select 24dB or 30dB to accommodate different preamplifiers and system configurations.

  • Balanced and unbalanced inputs: Stereo XLR and RCA connections.

  • Custom toroidal transformers: Potted transformers designed to minimize mechanical noise and electromagnetic interference.

  • AC Offset Killer: PrimaLuna circuitry designed to reduce transformer hum caused by DC offset on the AC supply.

  • Premium internal components: Takman resistors, European tin-foil signal capacitors, and hand-wired point-to-point signal paths using Swiss-made silver-plated OCC copper wire.
