Any advice on Ayon scorpio integrates?

Thank you for your advice too. Raven seems interesting but probably I cannot wait. Quicksilver, I did a superficial search before but not in depth up to now. I thought it was more expensive but around $2000 is a nice price range. The “separate mono block like” attracts me but I may need to do more learning on this; it looks like it is a class AB push pull and a closed box design. class AB seems to have a more dynamism of suppose front to rear sound stage width, power on classic orchestra playback than a class A single being more on the spot tube sexy sound with realism. 

It may be more attractive to me if was a open chassis (why the integrated is almost the only closed box among Quicksilver), but the closed box do have an weight on the look, probably I may get to that taste point later. 

As you may see from my unorganized comment that I am actually still at my learning stage. 
again, thank you for your advice.

That Quicksilver is only a 20 watt amp. I own the Harbeth P3 and the Quicksilver integrated would not be a good choice. BTW, I use larger Quicksilvers with the P3s. I did call Mike Sanders about the QS integrated paired with the P3 and he told me that 20 watts will not cut it!

" Icon also is a new  name to me. Class A, pentode/triode, 28/20wpc, enabling SE drive using KT150,,, and with open chassis! I understood this specifically designed with KT150 and not that one can play with tube exchange but this is interesting! I may need to do a deeper learning on this Icon. "
Yes this amp was originally built by the owner of Icon as an end game amp.I've run pretty much every power tube available,in every Class configuration they come in & was confidant that Pure Class A,Single Ended Pentode is perfect for my musical tastes & speakers(Harbeth M30.1)...It's so sweet to be running Ultralinear for hard driving classic rock/Chicago Blues & then switch to Triode Mode for Classical/New Age/Jazz..I'm past the desire to tube roll as well so another reason I went with this amp,EVERY aspect is completely optimized for the KT150..

Yes  Cayin are made at the same factory as PrimaLuna. I have one half the price.

Thanks again! It seems it is choice of if I go direct to amp like Icon based on a experienced person like you who chose after checking out 50 amps; that’s the good thing about asking advice here in the forum and I truly appreciate.  Or another devil in my mind tells me I might want to make a good waste of money and sort of enjoy  on ones that will require me some hassle to explore; tube rolling until I get to the ultimate decision to choose Icon like you did. 

Learning about a new amp every time, it is very interesting and that process makes me lean towards it, last night I was looking at ANK kit 1 300 SET class A 8wpc which is an amp that is ideal in concept/design/looks to me but ofcourse not good match for my P3esr. Although I am still attracted to that, especially liking their cut-core trans, then started to look at their pentode el34 35wpc (not sure if it is a single end or push pull) which uses the same trans but that is a closed box...

I may need to rethink what I am after for. I tried to narrow down my choices when I started this thread to find out more on Ayon Scorpio to compare with PL, but now I feel the need to study more on Icon, Quicksilver, Mastersound...and if any user feedback on Ayon scorpio. I am glad that I came to know about those I have missed to include in my shortlist.

I will continue to explore an aim to decide in around a month.
