Summary:
Actually, I was there just to help a friend to select a pair of Monitor Audio & other accessories. When auditioning, Edward the saleman brought out the Primare just for comparison. And the tonal quality stuck me! Couple of weeks later, I went back & bought home a pair w/tripod. I'm using a full triode single-ended 845 to drive it. Immediately, I hear details that I never heard before. Transparent, tidy, sound-staging, low-end & liquid highs. I can't imagine all this happening right in my hall. Really a total new experience in my setup. Strongly reccomended to anyone needing a speaker not too big & sounds big with rich tonal accuracy. Big sound in a small floorstander.

Strengths:
Very detail, rich tonal quality & overall tidiness. Build is good. Thumb up for the lows.

Weaknesses:
I need to use the tripod to increase the bottom weight & surface area.

Summary:
It was in my plan to upgrade from a book shelf speaker to a floor stander.
The speakers that I had audited was either to expensive or dislike the sound.
After a few months of hunting & auditing, I almost give up until I saw this Primare L20 and it upper range L30.
The Primare L20 is within my budget. It has a inch fabric dome and 2x five inch bass units. The low had it own space in the cabinet designed. Very much like the Roger35a with the passive subwoofer. The high is slightly bright but as music played it give the impression of liveliness & transparence even when the volume low, at 9 o'clock. It has a good mid bass, nice and warm and a very well extended low bass response too.
My personal opinion, for anything below a thousand with such a nicely build body and sound is not easily found. I give five stars.

Strengths:
accomdating amp. work well with solid state & tube amp.
a good speaker for home theathe too.

Weaknesses:
High freuency is slightly bright too my taste but acceptable to most of my friends.

Summary:
At US$950, the Primare L20 from Sweden is a rare gem of a speaker that gives width and height to recordings. Bass controt is excellent, and it's easy to drive. A definate five stars.
