Reasonable integrated amp for Magico A3


Hi guys,
I have just ordered for a Magico A3 and am waiting for arrival. I do have Naim Unity Nova and I think this might be good enough. I am trying to find out from forum here, who have (or even if they don't have), A3s, what integrated amps are being used and recommend. If Nova is not enough, I might considering switching to other integrated. Considering Esoteric F-05 or Pass labs 250 or Vitus R-101.

I am debating between buying a magic a3 vs Yamaha ns 5000. wondering what amplifier will go with each. Was considering Devialet expert pro 220, hugel 390 and Hegel 590 and also Macintosh ma352 with a separate dac&streamer. 
re thinking if Hegel h590 will be tooooo much power for wither one of these speakers which are rated asYamaha NS 5000 - 200 watts at 6 ohmsMagico A3 I think 300 watts at 4 ohms
re thinking also if the devialet expert pro (220 watts at 6 ohms) is enough for either of these speakers. 
really confused bcos trying out the different mix and listening to how each sound is not possible due to corona lockdown
if anyone has any ideas  wud be great
