Integrated Amp to match with Magico A3

Have just ordered a pair of Magico A3, and looking for integrated amplifier to pair with it. As I heard once which had a very disappointing result to pair with Gryphon 300 in a local Hifi show in Hong Kong. Reallly looking for recommendations on matching amplifier. Planned to get a Marantz PM-10, but worried that the single box may not be powerful enough to push the A3. On the other side, some said Hegel H360 with 4000+ damping factor may suit even better.

thank you in advance

I will audition the Magico A3 soon. My considerations for amplification are the Hegel H590, Vitus RI-101, and Gryphon Diablo 300. Of these, the only one I can hear with the A3 is the H590. I would appreciate any feedback on how these amps will sound with the A3, and which one is best recommended. Just FYI, I listen to a wide range of music but for classical.

You can also try out Lyngdorf 2170 or 3400 at your home.

It can be hit or miss, that is , dependent on system.

It works like magic with Vaughn Cabernet speakers but not a good match with Lansche 4.1.

Another nice thing is it also works as excellent Dac and room correction.
