Looking to move to a Tube Integrated setup

I'm moving from solid state class D to a Tube Integrated amplifier and have narrowed it down to (2). The Ayon Scorpio II w/KT150's and the PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP w/KT120's. Does anyone have any experience with either or both of these they can share. Recommendations? Others I should consider in the $3K to $6K range? My speakers are relatively efficient at 98dB.

I have to second the Rogue Cronus. I have been enjoying the sound that I get from it paired with my Klipsch Heresy. Just dropped in some NOS signal tubes from Vintage tube and it seemed to stabilize the highs. There is certainly a rabbit hole to go down once you decide you want to start tube rolling.

I have a Ayon triton Evo and completely love it. I only have one recommendation and that is go with KT 170 tubes.

Had a Cronus a number of years back, even with NOS preamp tubes it just sound solid state to me; may have been the KT90s power tubes which it came with at that time .

Maybe consider looking into the lineups of Line Magnetic , Trafomatic and Finale Audio as well.  In my main system the speakers are Daedalus Argo V2s 97db 5ohm flat impedance and drive them easily with either a Line Magnetic 518IA (newer model is 845IA) - 845 power tubes 22wpc , or a Finale Audio 7189Mk2 - EL84M or 7189A power tubes 22wpc (I also at times use a Modwright tube pre and ss power amp)
