Have Luxman 509x. Considering Pass Labs INT-250 or Dan D’Agostino Progression Integrated

Hello Audiogon community.

I currently have the Luxman 509X, Isotek V5 Aquarius power conditioner, VPI scout turntable and pair of Wilson Yvette. 
I really like my current set up but I’m looking for an upgrade. I know upgrade is such an ambiguous word with nothing in particular as to what I’m looking for, but curious to see what others feel about the two integrated power amps being considered?   

Thanks in advance.

About to purchase a 509z. Invoice has been received. Curious to know if anyone has experience with Luxman and PMC. Specifically PMC Twenty5.24i’s. Came down to the Luxman,Pass, McIntosh,Hegel,Aavik and a few others. Thoughts?

Also Coda #8 v1 which is quite a bit less

I don't know if the op has made a purchase yet but you should also consider the Boulder 866.  I own one and it is in the same league as the mentioned other integrated.

The Luxman L-509 series of class AB amps are very capable, as are their class A siblings - the L-590 and L-595SA integrated amps.

The L-595 is apparently the last class A integrated amp that Luxman made, but Accuphase continues to make class A integrated amps such as the E-800 and class A separates such as the A-48, A-80 and the A-300 class A monoblocks.

If you are considering Luxman or Pass offerings you should also look into Accuphase products.
