Chinese integrated for around $1k

Hi guys,
I am looking for a powerful integrated amp around $1k.
Since my speakers are Chinese (Aurum Cantus Volla) I started looking into some Chinese amplification options, hoping they might surprise me the way the speakers did.
I have narrowed down the search to 2 options:

1. Dussun V6i
2. Shengya A-206mk

Both are quite powerful, both can be used as pure power amps for future tube pre-amp options, and both got decent to raving reviews over the net (for what it's worth).
Since there's no authorized dealer around me, this is going to be a blind purchase.

The Shengya is more expensive by ~$500, but is quite a looker to my taste (it just looks more robust).
So, has anyone had an experience with these amps an can shed some unsolicited light for me?

Thanks

The Lina Magnetic Audio is nowhere near the power requirements of my speakers (the ribbon tweeters make them power hungry).
38w just won't do the trick.
I hope the 150w of the Dussun V6i will, but am not sure.

Very nice 2psyop thanks for the heads up. If those sound as beautiful as they look I am very interested.

I have an option to purchase localy a used ATC SIA2-150 or a BMC C1, either one for around $3k/
Given the shipping the shipping costs and the taxation on the Dussun, this is about $1k difference between the options.
What do you say, are they even comparable?
