Audio Research, AYON and Primaluna tube amplifiers.

@ghdprentice thank you very much for very direct answer- very helpful.

I’d like to learn more about ARC. Is there a link that I could learn about their previous history models and price in year 2010-ish? Or perhaps, you could help with a recommendation for my Sonus Faber Elipsa SE, 91dB?
My local dealer recommended the current model ARC Ref 80. Very beautiful unit. Thanks again.

@carlsbad Very direct answer as well and thank you.

May I ask what Ayon model and how long do you have it?  And  for what speakers?

Do you think Ayon Spirit ($6k) can drive my speakers listed above?

@juanmanuelfangioii  I prefer a stereo tube amp and not an integrated because I already have Jeff Rowland integrated Continuum S2 and love it to death. I just need a tube amp to switch back and forth for diff sound.

I really like AR latest looks.

Guys, how about adding a new Jadis (not old) into a mix ?

How would they stand against ARC as for signature sounding and other criteria that I listed on OP?

I could consider Jadis integrated instead of Jadis stereo amp

Thanks all so very much
