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!

@twoleftears - I just bought my second PL Dialogue Premium HP amplifier so that I can run them as monoblock's. I haven't had one issue with my PL preamp or amp and if I did I'm certain my awesome retailer Upscale Audio would take care of me. All manufacturers have some issues, I use to own amps from Audio Research that cost 12K and I had to have the transformer replaced 3 months in due to a noticeable humming sound. It happens! Buy PL and be happy for lifetime. Easy listening.

Cheers!

I have the HP's as mono's driving my Maggie's and they sound glorious. I started it off with one HP driving my Maggie's and it sounded pretty damn good at moderate levels. Maggie's are 86db so I had to go with the HP version. What speakers are you driving?

Cheers
