I don’t own a pair of Magico’s, but a friend has a pair of S5 MKIIs that I get to hear for extended sessions a few times a year. They’re usually driven by Convergent JL-5 or JL-7 Black Path Extreme tube amps, with a CAT SL-1 preamp, and a pretty slick front end. They always sound like the best system I’ve heard. That CAT’s just drive the crap out of them no problem, while sounding like the sweetest mid range and treble you’ve ever heard. 😎
Magico Owners - what are you using for amplification?
Hi all,
Pretty simple just like the title says.....curious what other owners are using for power. I was having a moment a while back where I thought I could use an improvement, and then more recently the other night was completely blown away and laughing that I ever considered it. Figured I might ask here and get some good feedback. Currently using Luxman 509x integrated with S3MK1’s. When I was researching the "fit" (since I already had the amp) I stumbled on feedback from the FL audio show where they were debuting the A3’s with 509x and getting great reviews. A3 is rated same 88db/4ohm as the S3 but might in fact be a bit easier? Who knows.
Thanks in advance for insights.
Eric
