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

Today I put in a m900u in place of a pass 350.5. For me it was a jaw dropping difference. Speakers are giya G2 s1.

The M900u from the reviews sound like an awesome amp.

 Can you please describe the jaw dropping difference between the two amps?

vocals were lush… definitely better highs, I just heard more… best way to describe it is luxman was dynamic while having a more enveloping sound. I am sure there are plenty out there who would prefer the pass amp, and it is very good. but maybe in my case, the synergy between luxman and my speakers is better. Also I am in Asia where luxman is more reasonably priced.
