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?

I had the Luxman 590AXII before.  Outstanding built quality and excellent musicality.  Can't go wrong with Luxman.

You might find this forum interesting (see below). The last page kind of touches upon your question but is talking about the Pass Lab 250 integrated amp. A long thread but worth looking at. The bottom line was the OP said that the speakers and speaker cables made a huge difference influencing the sound of all the integrated amps he listened to but he didn't realize it until the end of his search. 
With that said I'm sure you would like either the Pass Lab 60 which I, unfortunately, have not heard and you would also be as happy with the Luxman 590 AXII which I own and like. I wish I could describe the difference in sound between the two integrated units, but I don't can't.
If you don't get any responses to your exact question you could always contact a dealer that carries both and ask them.
