Integrated brand choice -- Simaudio, Hegel or Mark Levinson?

Narrowed down my integrated brand choice to these three.  Looking to spend $7-8k (used or new).  These will power Focal Electra 1028be's for now, with a possible upgrade to something else next year.
I'm familiar with Simaudio, but haven't heard/owned the Hegel or Mark Levinson.

Some good suggestions above. My concern is that you may be buying 
in the wrong order if a speaker upgrade is in the offing. Proper synergy
between the amp/speakers is key to good sound. As speakers impact
sound much more than power, I would shop the speaker first.
