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 :)

Ditch tone control. Ditch separates. Add Raven integrated to the list.

You'll get far more for your audio dollar with integrated vs separates. Prima Luna is European based made in China. Good luck with that.

Raven is all American and with outstanding rep for customer service. 

Hard to go wrong with tubes, especially not at this level where they all outshine SS right across the board. Adding tone control just might do it though....
