Luxman 590axii vs Pass Labs int 60

Anyone had the opportunity to compare these specific amps? Both are "quasi Class A" amps. I auditioned the int 60 and was extremely impressed and even more so when hooked to the MSB ADC V. How does it compare to the Luxman 590axii? They seem to be in direct competition with each other. Which do you like best?

audiofound, 
Since the dealer had the 509x, did you compare it to the Int60, and if so what did you think?

I have the 509x now and really like it. I do not find it “analytical” in the sense it seems most people use the term in a somewhat negative connotation. It is not harsh for me, which is how I hear some amps others have described as analytical. Based on the audiodrom review the 590axii gives more “color” in the music which I think probably means a fully fleshed musical spectrum. Anyhow, I suspect you should give the 590axii a try, unless you just go ahead and spring for the Gryphon Diablo 300!
