Love my Luxman. :)
I kind of went all over, including monoblocks. The Luxman solved a lot of issues for me, including my love of meters, but seriously things like reduced cabling and space, but fabulous sound stage, and tonal balance and extension, plus excellent and transparent tone controls.
With reasonably efficient, and well behaved speakers, it would be hard for me to justify going back to a separate pre/amp setup.
