Diving into the world of tubes...help needed!

@veerossi Great.  I'm In Canada, so honestly the only way for me to try PrimaLuna is to buy, and if I decide to go with something else, I'd have to pay 5% restock fee, which in my case is about $130.  I looked at Line Magnetic's stuff earlier today...not my cup of tea.
@celtic66 I understand what you're saying, but from nowhere I've heard that Vincent is a subpar build quality.  Sure it doesn't have point to point wiring, but it's also not a simple, straightforward tube amp.  It's a hybrid, with some extra toys

I own the PrimaLuna Dialogue HP Premium Integrated with the KT150 tubes.   I love this Integrated, particularly with the more powerful tubes.

It drives my XStatic full range electrostatic speakers really well and to loud levels.

May your ears enjoy the adventure!

Thanks noodlyarm!

Someone in another forum has basically convinced me to home audition both of my interests (which have now boiled down to the Vincent or the PL EVO 100 Integrated).  I've found a dealer for each, that are about an hour away...so if they'll let me take them both home I'd be very happy!  For one I may have to actually buy it and pay a restocking fee (5%) though.

I also agree with going rogue . Service from Nick is spot on and the quality is top notch . Glorious sound stage . 

@davekayc They seem nice, especially the Cronus III...but just too far out of my price range. It's about $4000 plus 13% tax where I live.
