Are AYON Amps popular in the high end community?


Of course I see tons of ads here on AG, however, I do not see many reviews from actual owners on the various forums, etc.. I do remember a couple of reviews by the major audio mags. Just curious.

I’ve been in this hobby since the early 80’s and had not heard of them, but I am not much into tubes other than for preamps and guitar amps. They just don’t have that low end power that I enjoy, not to mention the inconvenience of the maintenance. I looked at the AYON website and they seem pretty nice though. Maybe I’m alone in not being familiar with the brand, but personally, I’d go with a more well-known brand whose sound signature/ voicing I was familiar with, unless they offer at least a 30-day in-home trials with a no questions asked refund policy.  Just my thoughts...

They are more popular in Europe.  I have one.  I bought it iand had it shipped here from Cyprus. 

..I always buy from a manufacturer from US.....a much easier repair.  Surely sound is important, but US has great stuff.
