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 would look seriously at the AudioResesrch I-50. If your moving from as then this is probably the musical sound you are looking for. Very natural, outstanding rhythm and pace with great detail. Built like real audiophile equipment. I own PrimaLuna and my main system is Audio Research. The ARC is in a different class.

Those tube amps are likely overkill for 98db speakers.  What is the make and model of the speakers?

I agree with freediver except I like DHTs.  Now that I know what speakers you have, I especially recommend an SE DHT amp.
