Nice amp, I own ints predecessor, the L-505f and I can highly recommend it. I still wouldn't buy any foreign version that requires a power converter due to possible sound deterioration. If you don't think that's an issue, Luxman amps usually don't give you any technical problems during the warranty period.
Can't comment on the differences to the MA6500 but I would be interested to read about it. From what I've heard the MA6500 is not the McIntosh integrated to go for. It also doesn't have a balanced input, in case you plan to connect a source by XLR. The L-505u does have at least one.
