Luxman 509x vs Hegel H390

Good input guys. For comparison purposes with the Lux and Hegel , listened to some demos with the Moon Audio 600i V2 & although spatially more expansive, it just does not have the smooth sweetness of note contours displayed by the others. In fact , I would safely bet. at least for my music tastes, the MA 600i to get rather tiresome in time. 

So, the process of elimination leaves in the Lux and Hegel while striking out other equally well rated amps with significantly different sound signatures. 

The Luxman just looks like such a piece! Not of s..t. Haha. Heirloom quality and the  Hegel looks like a Denon home theater receiver. That being said if sound quality equal Luxman all day. 

I’m sure the Hegel is fantastic and great build quality before I get berated. Very understated look.

If only Hegel made the H390 in Silver , might go some ways to reduce trade ins as aesthetics is a serious consideration at this price point. The Luxman 509x is veritable tank construction and at 63 lbs, would need to check rack shelves can handle this load. 

Google pictures of the internal wiring of the Japanese made Luxman 509 versus the Chinese made Hegel 390 and speculate on that evidence alone which has the build quality most likely to serve you best and longest. That Hegel seems to promote they are a Norwegian company and not mention where their amps are actually made is another consideration.
