Fitted with new Mullard valves in the last two years Great sound and amazing build quality. Amplifier weighs 28kg, and 34kg boxed (it will come with the original box, cloth cover and manual) Note that there are two marks on it - one on the top of the front panel and a mark on the right-hand side.

The Ayon Scorpio is a celebrated tube integrated that delivers lush, Class-A warmth with the flexibility of triode and pentode modes, making it a standout for vocal and acoustic music. At A$2,500, this listing is a strong bargain, sitting well below the 25th percentile (A$3,532) of recent AUD comparables and nearly half the median (A$4,612) from your database.
This is a genuine buying opportunity for enthusiasts seeking Ayon’s signature sound without the usual used-market premium. The Scorpio’s ability to switch tube types (KT88, EL34, or KT150 in later versions) adds meaningful versatility, and its 30–50W output handles most speakers comfortably. Since the price is deeply discounted, the only caveat is confirming the condition: verify tube age, check for clean RCA connections, and ensure the Alps volume pot isn’t noisy. If it’s clean, this is an excellent entry into high-end tube audio.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
