Vlijmen, The Netherlands | 2021 – PrimaLuna is a Mondial brand of tube electronics established in 2003 by Herman van den Dungen, a high-end distributor from The Netherlands. More than 30 years (at that time – more than 45 now!) of high-end experience in the fields of design, manufacturing, export, import, retail, and after-sales service was the basis for a range of affordable and reliable yet highly musical products. Together with Marcel Croese (of Goldmund fame) and Dominique Chenet (of Jadis fame), he -assisted by Tube Guru Kevin Deal- was heading his team to bring simply the best products with the best service for the best price. At PrimaLuna, we all try to understand what the customer wants and deserves.
The philosophy of the PrimaLuna team is that not just the PrimaLuna products but also the people involved in PrimaLuna have to be top-of-the-bill. So PrimaLuna will give you excellent designers, the highest quality manufacturing and a first-class sales and after-sales network. All this without becoming unaffordable.
We offer Western design and marketing, combined with Far East manufacturing under European control and Dutch after-sales service. We are proud that skilled and experienced distributors and dealers worldwide recognized the potential of the PrimaLuna brand for themselves and their clientèle. We all hope to be able to serve you the maximum possible for a long time to come!
Specialty audio magazines like The Abso!ute Sound, Stereophile, Hifi News, Hifi-World, HVT, HIFI.NL, The EAR, AudioReview, Hifi-Voice, Sound & Vision and others, have discovered and praised the qualities of PrimaLuna. And even in 2021, we dare to say that this is just the start of more PrimaLuna to come …
