replace Mcintosh with Luxman


I am about to sell my Mcintosh 611s and replace with 2 Luxman c900u.. I live in Alaska, outside of Anchorage, and there is no retail sales of mid to high end gear in this state.  No opportunity to listen to amps before I purchase unless I travel to lower 48.  Anybody have an opinion on going from Mcintosh to Luxman.

Thanks

After purchasing Magico A3’s a couple years or so ago I started looking for a suitable integrated amp for them. When asked, a Magico VP said they were demoing the A3’s at shows with Luxman amps, their 509X’s if I recall. I phoned Luxman too who mentioned the same thing when asked which speakers their integrated amps matched well with.

I ended up purchasing the next lower model Luxman integrated amp, their 507uX, since the 509x was a bit too rich for my blood. I’ve been pleased with it’s performance, but wouldn’t venture any guesses as to how they’d compare to Mcintoshes or any other brand as I’ve no basis for comparison.
