Default Devialet or Hegel?

I'm looking to make a change to my system as space is becoming more of a premium. I currently use an Ayre setup (QB-9DSD, KX-5/20, VX-5/20) and I really do love the sound. No real complaints, so I'm not looking particularly to move up in quality, I just need to bring my system down to something more compact and would prefer not to just step down to the AX-5/20 to keep the same sound so it's time to experiment. I have been reading a lot about modern integrateds and near the top of my list is the new Hegel H590, and Devialet (not sure which model yet, but likely Expert 220 Pro).

Does anyone have experience listening to these two brands? What are some of the main differences in sound? If you've got experience with Ayre as well that would also be helpful to relate it to my current system. Budget is around $15k. Recommendations for other brands I should look to would be welcomed too!

My speakers currently are Bryston Middle T, but I've also been eyeing up a switch to Magico A3 if that changes the recommendation.
