Anyone compared AR HD 220 to Accuphase P-7000?



I am trying to pick a more musical power amp to replace a ML 334 in my main system. Narrowed it (currently, anyway) to 2 very different possibilities - the AR HD 220 and the Accuphase P-7000. The rest of the system consists of AR REF3, AR CD7, ML 390S, SF Auditor Ms, and a REL B-2. Any thoughts or other suggestions?

As always, thank you in advance!

Please go with the VS115...I had the same gear with the HD220...the amp sucks and should be pulled from the market. Nice of the press to give ARC a pass, isn't it!
Had em all. The HD220 offers great detail at the expense of warmth, sweetness and roundedness. Wonder why the HD220 is not reviewed when all the other new ARC offerings are examined almost immediately?
