Magico Owners - what are you using for amplification?

For my A3's (first production run), I use my 20+ years Krell FPB 300cx, with re-capping at Krell a few years ago. Magico's need juice, and this amp has the rare combo of plenty of juice and Class A musicality. Preamp is VTL 7.5iii, the disappearing preamp which never even hiccups. Neal 

Not sure if helpful, but I was planning to use my Constellation Inspiration Pre+Stereo to run my new speakers.  At AXPONA 2022, I auditioned Magico A5 and Rockport Atria, but ended up purchasing the demo Vimberg Mino D which sounded fabulous.

Alon also thinks highly of Odyssey amplifiers - he occasionally uses it.  

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.  😎

I use a McIntosh MC312 power amp to drive my Magico A5 speakers and could not be happier with the SQ. The sound is both very dynamic, crystal clear, perfect sound stage and a very flat frequency response.

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. 😎

I have a pair of original Magico S5 speakers. I was using a Luxman M900U stereo amplifier which works very well. Combined with the matching C900U preamp it was great. After 7 years using this combo I had the itch to change. I just purchased a Coda S5.5 amplifier which only has 50 watts into 8 ohms, 100 watts into 4 ohms and 200 watts into 2 ohms all class A. It pumps out 100 amperes which is more than most other amps that have many more watts. The sound is incredible. It doesn’t run very hot for a class A amp. I am floored by the sound from such a low amount of watts at high listening levels. I’m thinking it is the amperage output. 
 

The sound is so open and clear with no fatigue. It’s super dynamic and exciting. It has the best bass I’ve ever heard from my speakers. The mid to upper bass is deep, clear and exciting. The amp only lists for $6,400 new. It is by far the cheapest component in my 6 figure system and maybe the best performing. 
 

I can give you more details if you like.

I got to speak with Alon Wolf in person and during the conversation he mentioned he really liked Hegel with his speakers that kinda surprised me, FWIW.
