Integrated amp choice. Ayre AX5 Twenty vs Mark Levinson 585

After doing some researches, I am faced with a final choice between these two. Both are very highly-rated equipments.
Want to drive B&W 805d3 speakers. Any suggestions on sound characteristics on these...?

The B&W 805 D3 is a very forgiving loudspeaker. Either amp will sound great on those speakers. At this level, between your 2 choices, it is a matter of taste.  Both Integrated amps are outstanding respectively.
Have fun!

Happy Listening!

I'm thinking of selling my 702S2 for used 805D3 and adding a sub. I will be driving them with McIntosh MA6600. Anyone here go from 700 series to 800? Thoughts?
