Diving into the world of tubes...help needed!

Hi all,
I'm seriously considering diving into the world of vacuum tubes.  I currently have Focal Aria 906s which I adore...but may upgrade those in the future as well to a floor standing speaker.  For the beginning though, they will be my speakers.  Looking for opinions on the below amps/preamps, especially the pairing of the Emotiva pre with the EVO 100!

My choices have been narrowed down to:
  • PrimaLuna Prologue Classic Integrated Amp - would likely pair with a Schiit Loki to have tone control
  • PrimaLuna EVO 100 Power Amp - paired with EMOTIVA PT-100 preamp, would likely pair with Loki as well
  • Vincent SV-237MK Integrated Amp - needs nothing additional
Thanks in advance for your assistance :)

Take a look at Rogue, had Primaluna Dialogue HP iintegrated and their straight non HP integrated. Sold them and bought a Rogue HP-1 Pre and a Atlas Magnum I sent both of them to Nick at Rogue, had the amp upgraded to a Magnum II and the Pre they checked out thoroughly, gave it a bill of good health and frankly, I think the sound is superior.
Additionally Rogue does it all in the US and I found their customer service to be unmatched! Actually spectacular more covers it!
