Have a bug for a new (to me) integrated

Hello all. I am seeking some opinions on a new to me integrated. Currently I have a Cary SLI80HS powering my beloved Volti Razz speakers. I want to keep the Cary, it really is a great tube amp. It's just that I've never powered my Razz with SS and I am very curious. Also I enjoy rotating gear in and out of my set up, always have. 

I have narrowed my pre-owned contenders a bit, I am open to other suggestions too.  Trying to stay in the $3 to $4k range. I listen mostly to metal, rock, and Jazz. Room is about 12'x12, not well treated other than a love seat and a couple other pieces of furniture. 

Naim Supernait 3

Luxman

Accuphase

McIntosh. 

I welcome all discussions and suggestions. 

Thank you!

you own a Hegel (apparently - among 10s of $1000s of other gear) and you can't even spell it? It's a really simple 5 character word.

@doyle3433 Did the Luxman arrive yet? If so, make with the first impressions already laugh!

Luxman was supposed to arrive Saturday, then Sunday, and then today. (Between stated hours that I took work off for, only to have an attempt to deliver made 15 minutes after I left the house and two hours after the stated timeframe) After doing the dance with shipping company I pick it up at a drop off point tomorrow! Delayed gratification is not one of my strong points. I just keep telling myself as long as it arrives undamaged, it’s all good.. As soon as I get it hooked up and warmed I’ll certainly let everyone know. (And try not to be a bore)

OP, 

I can't tell you how many times that has happened to me. It drives me nuts. In this day and age they should either be able to deliver in the window and to update you in real time.
