Audio Research, AYON and Primaluna tube amplifiers.

Hello Agoners,

May I ask how would these 3 companies stand out from each others?

Can we rank them as for:

1. Sound quality

2. Performance

3. Reliable

4. Reputation.

5. Service and support

6. Resell value.

I’m still very new to tube amps and only had Cayin A-88T and VTL ST-150 in the past.

I have an Ayon amp now, I would say the sound of ayon is clean, defined, and crisp with great soundstage. I would put it a level above Primaluna. Jerry

My speakers are 96dB and it is way more than I need, in fact I'm currently listening to a 6 wpc SET instead. I think both the Spirit and the Spark Delta would be plenty to drive your speakers. I might be convinced to sell the Ayon so PM me if you're interested. Jerry
