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.

Originally I drove my Magico S5 with a pair to Devialet D440 Expert Pro, astoundingly removing and transparent. Although missing a little soul and musicality.  After a LOT of research, I took the plunge on T&A PA3100HV integrated.   Hqving heard almost all the main contenders at one point or another I can concur with Steve Huffs review “The Worlds Best Integrated”!  The improvement in every aspect is significant and possibly the best system improvement I’ve ever made.  Now I’m searching for the matching PS3000HV power supply as that’ll take it to the next level. T&A’s pre-and power whether as a stereo or mono block configuration especially the the matching power supplies are absolutely world class. You won’t be disappointed.

I appreciate all the advice I had received.

So far not one had mention Luxman 900u or the 10x as an alternative.

I had been using different Luxman for a long time wondering if I should continue following the sonic path.

Thanks again.

 

I believe I mentioned my experience using a Luxman m900u with my Magico S5’s earlier in this thread. If you would like more information on my experience please let me know. 

This is rather difficult as the Magico S3 2023 is highly transparent and can run top electronics.  Maybe Constellation Inspiration as mentioned on TAS 50 Greatest Bargains in High-End Audio 

 

2 other great sonic choices:

  • 15.0 ALLNIC T-2000 30th Anniversary Stereo tube
  • 22.0 Analog Domain Isis M75D 250/400wpc SS
