Integrated amp for Wilson Audio Cub 2's

Recently purchased a pair of Wilson Audio Cub 2's here on Audiogon. I currently have a Harman Kardon HK990 integrated that sounds nice on them but I am looking for a little higher end integrated. I am interested in the Audio Research Vsi60, the Ayre Ax-7e or the Pathos Acoustics Logos. If you have any experience with this combo and would like to voice you opinion feel free.

My current system:
Wilson Audio Cub 2 w/factory stands
Harman Kardon HK990 Integrated
Oppo BDP-105 Universal player
Isotek Evo3 Sirius Power Center
Shunyata Ztron Anaconda Speaker cable
Shunyata Ztron Anaconda Balanced Interconnects
Shunyata Ztron Python Power Cables x 2

What about a Primaluna Dialogue Premium Integrated for now? Ultimately I would like to end up with the new Audio Research VSI75 integrated. What do you think?

If it was my choice, I would hold off and just get the amp you really want. After your first post, I had a look at your HK because I wasn't familiar with it. It looks like a really good product. There's no guarantee the Primaluna will be better than what you have now. If you can't do a demo, I wouldn't risk it.

You may want to try some great integrateds from the same time period as the Cubs, such as the YBA Passion or Rowland Concentra (if you can find them).

The Rowland should be a very good choice. I have a Roland 112 and it sounds great with the Cubs. I forget the specs, but if the Concentra is the one with 150 watts/ch, then the amp portion is based on the 112. If it has 75 watts/ch, then I believe the amp section is the Model 2.
