McIntosh vs. Luxman vs. Hegel Integrated Amps

[samurai7595]

I'm shopping around for a 200W integrated amp.

So far, I've auditioned the McIntosh MA6700 integrated, Luxman L-507uX integrated and Hegel H300 integrated. I heard all three units in three different dealers with different speakers and liked all three. I really couldn't say that one was better than the other but the built-in DAC in the Hegel sounded superior to the McIntosh (Luxman does not have a built-in DAC).

Has anyone compared these three integrated amps with the same sources and speakers? If so, what was your experience & which would you pick?

I heard mc 6900 with sonus Faber venere 3.0 an JL sub. Hegel H160 with golden ear triton one. As far as sound quality to me very comparable with Hegel casting wider sound stage but Mc possibly deeper more indicate. Hegel is significantly cheaper. Mc looks amazing

Thanks for the replies.

I ended up buying the McIntosh MAC6700 stereo receiver.
