Ayon's "Scorpio" tube imtegrated amp vs PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium tube integrated??.

I have considered trying a tube integrated amp. The Prima Luna Prologue Premium has received numerous positive testimonials regarding its sound quality and is considered a bargain at $2399.  Ayon’s new "Scorpian" tube integrated  is more expensive at $4200,  supposedly offers excellent sound quality, but has not gathered many press reviews. .

 Is  anyone familiar with these products??  Are they  reliable over the long haul?? and if so, can either amp  effectively drive any speaker load, including Golden Ear Technology model 7 or the larger model 5.  Or have any problems driving Magneplanar .7 speaker, or any of the Martin Logan speakers.  Thank you

I have the PL Dialogue integrated and love it. You can change the sound too suit your tastes via tubes plus it's built very well. I talked to Kevin at UA for awhile and never regret buying it. Plenty of reviews and support so funny think you can go wrong. I do agree with your assessment of UTA.

Yes. The dealers do mean a lot. Especially, for non big box retail items. I'll probably contact UA this week and decide on the amp that is for me.

Looking thru classifieds on AG this morning. Those Ayon ads are really irritating.

They spend a lot on ads for sure.

What about Cary SLI-80 integrated, particularly the Signature model? Quite a few available on the used market from $2500-$3200, depending on the mods. They look great. Any personal experiences out there?
