Integrated SS amps - Luxman vs. Simaudio Moon?


Instead of separates, I am considering a high quality integrated amp for my new system. The speakers I am considering (Verity Audio) are not hard to drive. The two brands at the top of my list are:

Simaudio Moon Evolution i-7 (or the new 700i) vs.

Luxman L-509u (or L-590Aii 30 wpc pure class A).

I have heard theses units in different systems at different dealers, and so not direct comparisons.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

I have spoken to the local Verity Audio dealer and corresponded with Verity Audio, and they have assured me that the Finn, Rienzi, and Leonore would all be appropriate for my room size. The designer of the Rienzi has assured me that it is a good match for my size of listening room.

I can audition the Finn and Parsifal locally, but the Rienzi best fits my budget, and it should fit somewhere between these two speakers sonically.

May I suggest Musical Fidelity integrated amp. Your taste of music is similar to mine and I can tell you the reproduction of classical music, jazz and especially solo piano is so realistic and it is incredible. You should look into kw550 or the kw500 or the older m3.
Toronto 416 (Mark) - I just noticed a pair of Verity Parsifal Ovation's on Auction with only 2 days left, with no bids against them and no reserve Starting price is a very reasonable $5K. Strongly suggest you go after these! I have no affiliation with the seller... just able to sniff out a good deal when I smell one.
