Thanks for the advice, everyone. Has anyone heard the T+A PA 3100 HV with the A3? A used one runs about the same as the other integrated amps I inquired about. Basically, I’m doing my best to compare apples to apples in the sense of high quality sound, 300 Watts into 8 ohms without having local access to any but for the H590.
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

T+A PA 3100 HV sounds great with Magico A3. Heard this combo at a local audio show this year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOPSwuKMFTU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUQqBYl7Y5k&t=1s |
Just saw this online. The A3 and Luxman 509x are shown in the recent Toronto show. I was considering the 509x but people here were reporting that it needs some volume to sound right. https://positive-feedback.com/show-reports/toronto-audio-fest-2018-show-report/ |
The Luxman 509X does sound its best when it is pushing lots of power, but I listen to lower volumes (60 dB or so) at night and the Loudness button has a fantastic curve that really kicks in and compensates for the otherwise lacking lower volume levels. It sounds amazing at any volume through La Scala IIs. |
Agree with ebm. If you can audition Esoteric you should. Their F-05 class AB 120w/ch or the F-03A pure class A 30w/ch is subime sounding with the right speakers. If funds permit you can go to the top of the SS Japanese heap with their Grandioso series (F1). All 3 models include an excellent MM, MC Phono stage. No DAC though. |
