Why are Ayon tube amps not mentioned very often?

Hello,
Have been in the tube world for the past few years and I am on my 3rd & best one so far, the Ayon Triton Integrated Amp.  For me it is one of, if not the best looking tube amps I've seen and it sounds fantastic running in Pure Class A!  When I read these forums and tube amps are talked about, it is a lot of the same ones that are mentioned:  PrimaLuna, Quicksilver, Line Magnetic, Acoustic Research, Cary, etc. Since I have not owned any of those, I am curious how Ayon compares?  I am thinking that for almost $10,000 retail that my Triton should compare with the best of them, but why are they not more popular and talked about?  Thanks a lot for your feedback!

Usually good deals to be had with Ayon.
Correct voltage for your country is paramount so careful with so called ‘grey imports’.

 I ran an Ayon Triton III (4th Gen) bought new from UK dist. so a 240v model in 2018.

 I found Ayon in Austria and UK very responsive to questions and felt there would be support if required. 
Astounding amp, amazing tech, I’ve no real experience of equivalent valve amp brands at that level, my previous valve amp experience, going back a few years, was a Manley Stingray, good but the Ayon Triton III on another level.

Elephant in the room is the weight at 45kg, deal with that! It’s a final solution 😃
