Magico A5 Burn-In Experiences?

Suggestions for upgrading amps in my home theater system
Keep your Moon Sim 330 A amp for the front channels there is a McIntosh MC8207 here on Audiogon for the 7 other channels ( I have a MC8207 ) Your Anthem processor room calibration will fix your center speaker. https://www.audiogon.com/listin...
