| Magico Owners - what are you using for amplification? Running Simaudio 390 Pre/DAC/Streamer into Simaudio 330A Amp into Magico A3s. Electronics are in an enclosed console, so it was important that it not run too hot. Amp (125 watts first 5 Class A) will get warm but not hand burning hot. @hanki... | |
| All-in-One units for retiring audiophile & music lovers in 2025, say what? Simaudio ACE. Integrated Amp/DAC/Streamer (bluetooth, apple airplay, Tidal, Qobuz). Amp is 50 wpc (8 ohms). Around $1,850 used. Simaudio also sells a mated set of speakers Voice 22. Had the ACE and it was quite good. Have not heard Voice 22. | |
| PS Audio BHK signature preamp FYI, running the Simaudio 330A. Unit is compact and gets only slightly warm. My experience is that it is neutral and detailed. | |
| Starting my showroom again Wacky thought: could it be mated to a coffee shop, rotate some gear and let patrons stream in coffee bar area. Then a demo room or two. | |
| Magico A3 or A1+Sub @ozzy62, @stereo5 Understood. For Floorstanders, could get maybe an additional 5-10 inches from right wall with moving console. Not sure if that is sufficient. That is why, in my limited room, the question of if A1 which could go on the cons... | |
| Magico A3 or A1+Sub FYI, equipment is Simaudio 390 Pre/DAC/Streamer and Simaudio 330A amp (125 into 8, 250 into 4). | |
| Magico A3 or A1+Sub @rick_n Fair point. I've added a picture to my virtual system, the view is looking from dining room towards living room. Speakers are roughly 9 feet apart, 1 foot from wall and listening positioning is about 7 feet back. Goal is overall more ... | |
| All in One amp up to $7k Oops - 125 into 8, 250 into 4 | |
| All in One amp up to $7k Preowned Simaudio 390 Pre/Dac/Streamer and 330A Power Amp (125 watts into 4, 250 into 8) - new would be $10-11k but would come with 10 year warranty. | |
| Looking for a narrow baffle small footprint speaker Another narrow body: Boenicke W8: H 770mm, W 120mm, D 260mm (~30x5x10). There is also a larger W11 which is not that much wider. Funky looking, all wood, not mdf, cabinets. 3 pricing levels in each line ( W8 $10k, $18k, $26k). | |
| Looking for a narrow baffle small footprint speaker Magico A3? 44 H, 11 D, 9.25 W, $15.4k (add $600 for grills). Had a demo this week and seriously considering. I need fairly narrow and shallow speakers. Have about 22 inches from wall to front of console (NYC apt living/dining), so with A3 wo... | |
| Sub $2,000 Integrated Amp Recommendations Full disclosure, I am selling this unit over on USAM but the Simaudio Moon ACE is worth considering. Integrated 50 wpc with DAC and Streamer (including Apple Airplay) and MIND 2 Sim app. It worked great but I wanted to switch out to Sim separate... | |
| which power amp or integrated for Totem Element Fire v2's? Curious as to what you found lacking in the Simaudio 400M/Totem combo? Running 390pre/330A into Totem Forest and it works well. | |
| Totem Forrest - old but still good Had them in system for roughly 15 years and, yes, they are still good. Recently added a Simaudio Ace, which mates very well with them (Canadian synergy?). I was concerned about Sim's 50 wpc but that has not been an issue at all. Small footprint... | |
| Cabling Recommends Simaudio Ace/Totem Forest Update: Lots of changes last few weeks, retaining only speakers. Prior System: Totem Forest Speakers (non-Signature), Krell 400xi integrated, Benchmark DAC 1 USB, Transparent cabling, APC surge protector and TV optical/PC usb. Updated System: T... |
