Luxman 509x vs Hegel H390

The shortlist is mainly coming down to these two genuinely great amps.

What sets them apart in SQ overall & how would you describe the sound signature for each one.

Heirloom quality and the Hegel looks like a Denon home theater receiver. That being said if sound quality equal Luxman all day.

What did you like about the Hegel vs the Luxman. Cause I really want a Luxman after buying a cheap late 80s integrated and was super surprised at how good it sounds. Never heard a Hegel.
