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

Also the same reason why it takes them 3 times as long to figure out that they bought a Ducati, BMW or an Audi and realized it was all BS hype. They also realized they wasted their time and money spending it at the service department all day or weeks getting greased, lol. Some learn quickly and some just don’t learn, lol. It’s sad but there are a lot of haters. Me, I don’t discriminate. I choose for myself, lol

Same reason Harley Davidson Motorcycles depreciate the least but are hardly the best.
There are literally millions of harley owners that would have a field day with that comment.

My point is our journey to obtain material objects is driven by emotional appeal and subjective characteristics as much as it is by objective measures. For me, it is more interesting and sonically rewarding to match amplifier and pre-amplifier tubes than matching various manufacturers of components.

That said, there may come a day when the opportunity to add a Luxman or Pass Labs integrated to the mix presents itself. Fascinating hobby.
