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.

Thanks everyone for the feedback thus far. 
@soix interesting feedback from Alon. 
@hanki your note confirms my Luxman preference is a good one, but will look into Coda and class A perhaps more generally. 
@knotscott I am the friend who hosts the majority of listening parties 🤣
@mgattmch one of my very brief brainstorms on this had me finding some sort of interesting all in one preamp streamer DAC and pairing it with a pair of MC611's.  Guessing that would be killer.  

Warming up my 509x currently for my session this evening.  😎
