Integrated amp recommendations for harbeth 30.2 XD


Hi - I'm currently using a Rega Aethos integrated amp with my 30.2 XD speakers.  I'd appreciate your comments / recommendation for a better integrated amp.  Some friends suggest that I consider the Luxman 509II or a Moon integrated.   
Your comments are very welcome!

I have Harbeth 30.1 in the home office and use it with the Raven Audio Blackhawk tube amp. I was generally satisfied with this combo. I also happen to have a Luxman 590 AXII driving SHL5+ in the main system. A few weeks ago I hauled the 30.1s to the media room and hooked them up to the Luxman. Needless to say, it smoked the Blackhawk in every aspect and then some more :)
@voodoochillin -- keep in mind that both Luxman and Pass are known to understate their specs. The Luxman 590 AXII has been measured to be around 90 watts @ 8 ohms, which is significantly higher than the stated 30 watts. Also, Harbeths like current ... probably more so than watts.
