Don't think you could go wrong with either one. The Luxman having both MC and MM phono , the Mac just MM. The Mac has twice the power. Perhaps not big factors in any case.
Having the McIntosh MA6600, the integrated model just below the MA7000, can only say I love it. I have all but retired my tube integrated as I love the sound of the MA6600 so much. In my quest the Luxman and Accuphase were on my list as well. The availability for auditions for the McIntosh and my long desire for the brand among other factors made my choice more the right for me.
Good hunting, post your choice.
