FedEx $210.36 UPS $168.99Ayon Audio Scorpio II KT-150Ayon – Scorpio II “The entrance into real high-end tube amplification”.The Scorpio II represents a dramatic rethinking of economic vacuum tube based integrated amplifier industrial design while retaining the basic architecture as our highly regarded “Spirit” amplifier.The Scorpio II integrated amplifier combines neutrality, realistic dynamics and power projection, true musicality with high resolution.Perfect finish, elegant discrete design and outstanding sonic performance make the “Scorpio II” unique, setting a new price-to-value standard in its class.Features & DesignFull-featured pure class-A tube stereo integrated amplifierSwitchable between pentode and triode modeEL34, KT88 or KT150 power output tubesIdeal also for more difficult loudspeaker loadsVacuum TubesThe choice of signal and power tubes have a significant influence on the sound and hence on the inspiration and joy of listening. This is not only the decision between good and bad tubes but finally the interaction of the different types of tubes and their combination that are used in the various Ayon amplifiers.Signal PathWe believe that the simplest circuits work best together with the shortest signal path. The shorter the signal path is, the less possibility of sonic degradation from various sources, including the wire itself. Even on the circuit boards, the copper traces are kept to a very minimum length. The completely redesigned circuit board provides a more straightforward and direct approach to the signal paths.Logical sequenced soft-start power up for extended tube lifePower tube and electronic protection circuit system0dB negative feedback (of any kind )Ultra short signal pathSimplest direct circuit path for purest musical sound and high reliabilityNo solid state devices in the signal pathHigh current and low impedance design that operates tubes in the best areas their curvesMinimal discrete wiring for optimum signal propagationAutomatic and manual bias adjustmentNo followers or buffers in the signal pathQuality parts throughoutSelector switch engages relays located near RCA jacks to switch all inputsPower SupplyThe power supplies have been further refined with new components and enhanced AC line noise filtration. Separate power transformers, chokes and filters provide total isolation between the input and output stages which makes this a pure power source. We also use electrolytic capacitors with much larger storage capacity to make up for the loss in filtering when using resistors in lieu of inductors.Low noise –insulated power transformersPower transformer is encased, excellent damped and RFI/EMI shieldedInnovative power supply provides a high speed energy delivery on transientsChoke filtered power supplySeparate and isolated power supplies over each stage of amplificationHigh current filament-regulator for pre and driver tubesRegulated DC filament supplies with soft startAC power line filter to avoid noise and hash from entering into the unitCurrent in-rush limitingAuto sequencing – Power on cycle completes in 1 minuteOutput TransformerThe super-wide bandwidth output transformer’s major strength is that it can deliver the current in the bass, while at the same time maintaining the speed in the high frequencies, dramatically improving the square wave response of the amplifier. The effect is a much more natural and relaxed sound with much better clarity, resolution and fluidity.Super-wide bandwidth high performance output transformerHigh efficiency with low insertion loss for optimal current and voltage transferMultiple tight layering and coupling for extended frequency responseOutput transformers are sealed with an anti-resonance compound materialComponentsThe type of parts used therefore must have a synergistic relationship to the circuit they are placed in.

This isn’t a time-sensitive vintage where “buy now or miss out” really applies, but it is a respected Ayon integrated with enough history that condition and tube life matter more than generation-chasing. At US$4,000, the ask sits above the US$3,608 median and between the US$2,648 and US$4,478 quartiles, so it reads as a fair-to-slightly-strong listing rather than a bargain.
What makes it worth considering is the Scorpio’s core appeal: big, authoritative tube drive, real class-A-style presence, and the kind of tonal ease that keeps these Ayon pieces in demand. For a clean example with healthy tubes, remote, and complete accessories, this is a solid enthusiast buy; just confirm service history, tube hours, and whether anything original is missing, since those details can move the value meaningfully on an amp like this.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Ayon Audio traces its roots to Austria, where it emerged four decades ago as VAIC before evolving into Ayon Audio in 2001 under the leadership of founder Gerhard Hirt. This transition marked a pivotal shift toward innovative vacuum tube audio design, building on Hirt's enduring ownership of the VAIC trademark and his passion for sonic purity.
The brand specializes in a comprehensive lineup of vacuum tube components, including power amplifiers, preamplifiers, headphone amplifiers, CD players, DACs, and streamers. Ayon's signature "Voicing"—its proprietary DNA—infuses every product with a distinctive soundstage renowned for depth, realism, and emotional engagement, setting new benchmarks in pure Class A circuit topologies.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Ayon commands global respect with distributors in over 55 countries and a trophy cabinet brimming from "Best Sound" and "Cost No Object" accolades at major audio shows. Austrian-engineered and award-winning, it appeals to discerning audiophiles seeking boutique excellence in tube amplification, far beyond mid-tier compromises.
