Any advice on Ayon scorpio integrates?

Hi, quite new to this and first time starting a thread. I am thinking of getting a tube integrated amp at around $2000-3000, for my P3ESR. The ones I have been looking were Primaluna Evo 100, and Unison research Triode25. Then I came to know about Raven and Ayon. Raven seems good but sold out completely so took off from my list to narrow down choices, while Ayon Scorpio seems interesting with A class pentode pushpull, and also as most of their lines are at higher range, making me think there may  be the higher range essence in this lower range scorpio model. Although, there are very few feedbacks or user’s comments on those and would like to ask experienced people here in the forum for any impressions experienced etc..
Not only about the amp itself but mystery is why there are not much of mentioning of Scorpio here either good or bad, despite that could be a interesting alternative to one like Primaluna. 
many advice/comment would be appreciated.

I’ve owned an Ayon Scorpio XS for three years and love it. I paid $2500 new and they now go for $4500 new. I upgraded to Sophia EL34 tubes last year and the sound is an improvement over the stock Electro-Harmonix tubes. I prefer the sound of the amp in Pentode mode. The sound-stage is huge, bass is deep and fast, mid-range is amazing. Overall incredibly holographic! My Ayon system includes Tekton Perfect Set 2-10 speakers, Pontus II DAC, Magna Mano Ultra Mk3 streamer.

The Ayon Scorpio XS is manufactured in the EU.
