Anyone here with Magico A3 driven by Bel Canto Ref600's?


Contemplating the A3's and would like to know if the REF600M will drive them properly. Currently using Martin Logan Montis and these aren't a great indication of what these amps can and will do.

Audio Troy does not like anything they do not sell.  The REF600M are great amps and will pair well with Magicos.  
The REF600M was Absolute Sound’s 2017 product of the year. It is NCore based, not ICE based. It has a magical midrange and smooth top end.  Did any of the amps audiotroy recommend earn any similar recognition?
Yes, audiotry’s opinion trumps all of the Absolute Sound editors and writers.
To answer your question audiotroy, all of them apparently hear better. It is not necessarily hearing, but in your case, bias founded in financial self-interest. For $5K, and I have owned them, the REF600M are terrific, award-winning amps at a great price. So we all disagree with your opinion. 
Good salesman do not attack potential customers. Good salesmen are not rude and sarcastic.  Good salesman know what they are talking about. 
Back to the topic, Stereophile rates the Bel Canto REF600M as Class A with $$$, meaning they are an excellent buy. They have an iron grip on bass, and smooth and silky midrange and top end.
