Accuphase or Leben for heavy metal

Guys, I have a short and practical question. I have an opportunity to buy either Accuphase E600 or Leben CS600X at good price. I listen to a wide range of music, but particularly interested in which if these two amps is better for heavy metal particularly. Under all other equal conditions, speakers are easy to drive 90db Piega at the moment. Maybe none of these two, which is also an option.

Neither ,the AAvic i280 is better then them both .

a cass A technologies and Tesla coil noise cancelling technologies.

the one powerful integrated that does everything well. I heard this against the Accuphase 3000 pass labs, Boulder , and several others a bust hear and around $10 k a Best Buy.

Metalhead here about 50% of the time. The other half jazz, fusion jazz, classic rock, grunge, early American/ bluegrass. For me the right combination is a Cary SLI80HS (80 wpc) and a pair of Volti Razz (96db efficiency or there about). For me a system that does everything really well is important. My room is not that big. I definitely get the energy and dynamics I crave. IMO the key was changing to a horn loaded mid that was non fatiguing and listenable for long periods. The Volti fit that bill in spades.

The Boulder 866 is exceptional. Power doubles from 8 to 4 ohms. It has complete control over my 4 ohm speakers. Good luck !
