FWIW I’ll give you my experience for driving a pair of Magico S5’s. I started out using a Luxman m900u. I thought it sounded great. Then I switched to a Coda S5.5 amp as I’d had the Luxman for a long time and had the itch to change to something new. The little Coda outperformed the Luxman in every way. The Coda is only 50 watts class A into 8 ohms and doubles to 100 watts at 4 ohms and can drive a 2 ohm load at 200 watts. I think the key to its ability to out perform the Luxman is that it draws 100 amperes which a lot more than the Luxman even though the Luxman is 150 watts into 8 ohms and 300 watts into 4 ohms. The little Codo retails for $6,400. I recently saw a used one for sale on either this site or usaudiomart. That’s just my experience. Good luck!
Best amplification for Magico S3 newer version on your experience
I purchased a pair of S3 but now I am facing that I might not have the funds for top brands amplification that I see them pairing at shows CH, Solution, D'agostino
Etc.
I come over here looking for advice.
Currently using Luxman 509x. My room is 18x12 and I listen to low to moderate vol.
Thank you in advance.
