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 just purchased an Aurorasound HFSA-01. Worth a look if the features match your needs.

@leotis I had the LTA Z40+ which I thought was excellent after I rolled the tubes but then got Don Sachs’ Valhalla integrated which was better in every way.

I have owned several outstanding tube amps over the last 40+ years, Audio Note, Airtight, Sun Audio ect.,   but I my current Don Sachs Valhalla built by Cloud Sessions might be my all-time favorite.  

Check the Valhalla out, it's really outstanding!

Thanks all. I believe I've narrowed it down to the Ayon Triton EVO and Primaluna 400 EVO. Positives on the side of the Primalina 400 is the lower cost along with pulling lower power from the same number of tubes (should extend tube life). The full remote features are also a bonus. Although, something about the Ayon just keeps pulling me back to it. Having the US dealer/rep just 2 hours away in Scottsdale does also help.
