Primaluna Dialogue poremium, Rogue Cronus Magnum II or Jolida 801...who can advise me?


So good morning all..
I am a novice to tubes and an old guy as far as Solid State goes. I am taking the plunge into tubes and planning on an integrated amp.
Currently I have a close to 30 year old set of Paradigm Export Monitors that I bought new many years ago and still are in awesome shape, with a sensitivity around 89dB, but am planning on a set of Tekton Design Lore speakers at 98 dB....I listen primarily to vinyl and although I have heard the PL recently in southern NH at Audio Video Therapy, I like the pricing of the Rogue better and the fact it has both a headphone amp and a Phono stage built in. Who has experience with both and what are our thoughts? And just for entertainment purposes, I also am considering the Jolida 801 Integrated....
Thanks!

Disclaimer - I am the distributor for MastersounD so this is likely biased. 

Have you considered the MastersounD BoX or Dueventi?  Both are el34 based and run in a parallel single ended configuration - a perfect fit for speakers like Tekton.  The Dueventi is 20 WPC and retails for $4,500, the BoX is 35 WPC and retails for $3,000.  Both include remote and phono input.  I was able to experience the Evolution 845 recently on the Double Impact SE and it was stellar.

If this doesn't interest you, perhaps consider Triode Corporation as another alternative.  I would go this route before Rogue or Jolida personally.
