Magico A3, suggested integrated amp.

op

one point to mention here -- naim’s are much more powerful than their super conservative published ratings suggest... and the quality of their design and sound are really excellent - don’t be fooled by the supernait rated at 80 wpc

@whipsaw

separately, good to know alan shaw, designer / owner of harbeth, who is publicly ’amplifier-agnostic’ -- and yet the main amp used in his testing and listening is a hegel h360 -- draw from that any conclusions you like hahahaha

Question -- what's the 2 meter room dimension? That sounds awfully small given the other two figures.

Sorry, that was my floor to ceiling height. But it’s more than that, about 2.5m high.

Another +vote for Ayre.

I bought the Hegel h360 before I decided on my speakers after comparing the Hegel to other brands with the old speakers. The Hegel actually made such an improvement in the sound of the old speakers I would’ve been happy keeping them, but that system was over 25 Years old And I was replacing everything. Hegel integrateds have a built in dac and the x90 are the latest. Mine is currently driving the persona 7f. If a speaker manufacturer recommends something they’re not financially affiliated with its probably worth a listen. Have fun with it though, try as many brands as you can.
