Vitus’ warm class A sound is common to match with Magico speakers. I have the S3mkii paired with an SIA 030 and am satisfied. Vitus power output specs are conservative given their large transformers. Swapping between class A and A/B at the press of a button is a nice perk. Perhaps check into a used RM 101?
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.

These could keep you occupied until you can save up for the elite stuff https://www.buckeyeamp.com/shop/amplifiers/purifi/1et9040ba/monoblock Or https://nordacoustics.co.uk/product/nord-three-1et9040ba-mb-mkii-mono-block-power-amplifier/ Ultra High Damping Factor You can shoot me, but they work with better specs than GaNFET's and sound damn good (not your father's Class D) 😘 |
I just went through the same dilemma 3 month ago, but with the Magico S5 MkII speakers. It came down to 2 integrated amps in the end that sounded really good to me within my price range. The Macintosh MA1200, and the Vitus Audio RI-101 MkII Integrated Amplifier. I ended up with the Vitus, and really happy with my choice. Very reveling with a great sound stage, and it is a little on the warm side, but not to much, and it pairs well with Magico speakers. It retails for 21K. |
I am glad I posted here instead of endless reviews, videos etc. This information will benefit magico owners in my situation. I only had the opportunity to try ELectrocompaniet new integrated and Luxman 509x. EC more control but lack the refinement of the Luxman in my opinion. Cables nordost tyr 2. Thanks everyone for taking the time to share your experiences and providing valuable guidance. |
