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?

Regards,

Mark

It's hard to believe but I don't have my 509u (ordered almost 6 months ago -in Italy-) yet.

It was expected to be delivered today but my dealer did not receive anything (damn courier!)... maybe tuesday 27 April.

I will let you know.

That's really tough to wait that long for anything! Hope it works out for you and you get it Tues. I was strongly considering a 505u.

I have the 507u. Like it a lot so far. Is what happened in Japan perhaps the hold up with getting the 509u?

I have a 4mo old luxman 507u that I'm thinking of selling to go the "separate's" route if you're interested
