Audio Research, AYON and Primaluna tube amplifiers.

@ghdprentice thank you very much for very direct answer- very helpful.

I’d like to learn more about ARC. Is there a link that I could learn about their previous history models and price in year 2010-ish? Or perhaps, you could help with a recommendation for my Sonus Faber Elipsa SE, 91dB?
My local dealer recommended the current model ARC Ref 80. Very beautiful unit. Thanks again.

@carlsbad Very direct answer as well and thank you.

May I ask what Ayon model and how long do you have it?  And  for what speakers?

Do you think Ayon Spirit ($6k) can drive my speakers listed above?

I have the Ayon Spark Delta which is a 35wpc SET with dual 6c33Cs.  My speakers are 96dB and it is way more than I need, in fact I'm currently listening to a 6 wpc SET instead.   I think both the Spirit and the Spark Delta would be plenty to drive your speakers.  I might be convinced to sell the Ayon so PM me if you're interested.

ARC or Ayon in my book, others do rate but are you going separates or integrated?

Would look at Unison Research and LTA also. 

@juanmanuelfangioii  I prefer a stereo tube amp and not an integrated because I already have Jeff Rowland integrated Continuum S2 and love it to death. I just need a tube amp to switch back and forth for diff sound.

Cool and both make wonderful tube amps.
