Ultra High Damping Factor
High Current Output : 40A

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.

I’m assuming you are looking for an integrated 

Boulder 866

Gryphon Diablo 300 or 333

Pass Labs Int-250

Coda CSIB

The truth is that all amps sound different and quality and design matter.  The best?  For me that would be the best Audionet amps you choose to afford.  Take. A trip to GTT Audio!
