Why are Ayon tube amps not mentioned very often?

I love my Ayon Triton and Ayon CD transport.  I have had countless listening sessions that stretched into hours long and joyful experiences. Beautiful gear that delivers remarkable sound. This rig lifted my speakers to new heights... 

Highly recommended gear, really a joy to listen to and interact with.

The US/AZ distributer is not the best choice for the brand or buyers, who would do better with more regional product support and showroom access. Current presale support is very good, but with gear this heavy, in-home auditioning becomes a three-ring circus without multiple family members to help position the gear on a rack! 

I own a Ayon DAC and transport and it is the best equipment I have owned. An older Ayon DAC I had broke down at 12 years old. I was the 3rd owner. Service was great. Ayon amps are solid built and sound great. I currently own CAT amps. They are 200 pound mono blocks. 

Has nothing to do with the quality of the product. This is a hobby of gear flippers for the most part. RE-SALE value is VERY important. Because of the lack of interest in Ayon (and many other brands) the resale value takes a huge hit from the initial purchase price. If your gonna flip gear often you cant afford to lose 40-50% every year or 2. Thats why many stick to brands that are always in demand REGARDLESS if its the best gear. (Mcintosh/Pass Labs/Harbeth/Luxman etc)
I know if I dont get a really good deal buying brand new (20-30% off MSRP) on stuff I want similar to AYON popularity (JM Reynaud, Graham, Simaudio, Sugden) Im gonna get killed ditching it down the road.  Even at those discounts Im still gonna incur probably a 20% Hit.

Ayon products are excellent. Not much chatter on Audiogon because owners are more interested in listening to their Ayon products then chatting.

I own and absolutely love a Spirit V integrated amp that sits on the top level of an Artesania Exoteryc rack with carbon fiber arms and beechwood discs and is connected to the wall with a Shunyata Sigma v2 NR l. The Spirit V drives my Trenner & Friedl Arts very well given the speakers aren’t too efficient—high quality, natural bass, mids, and highs. I would say the integrated with the stock power cord is very quiet, has a very low noise floor, natural timbre of instruments, and good separation of instruments. Adding the Sigma greatly lowers the noise floor and makes the music jump out of thin air—very spooky. There are some excellent, honest in practice reviews of the Spirit V online that can help guide curious buyers.

Depending on which speakers I purchase next, I will be going one of two directions in the next year or so: Triton EVO Integrated or Crossfire EVO Integrated.

As an aside, the owner of Ayon, Gerhard, is an absolute gentleman which makes buying his products that much more satisfying.
