Those are two great sounding amps. I went with Luxman, but only because the Luxman had some added features I liked that the Hegel did not have. Sound-wise? The Hegel might have an edge on controlling/powering full range floor standers, due to the extra power, but I have large bookshelves and a powered sub, so it's not a problem for me to crank it up. Wish I could give you more on a sound difference, but honestly, you won't be disappointed with either.
