Give the Hegel a try, If Magico is demoing the A3 with Hegel and talking about the Hegel in multiple audio web sites it makes sense to have your ears on the Hegel/A3 combo. Though I would wait until Sept 2018 for the Hegel H590.

T+A PA3000HV or the newer PA3100HV will blow you away.
I love them. I got Best Speaker system at the LAAS show last year for the Wilson Alexx speaker that I powered with T+A PA3100HV
AMAZING !

So I have a vitus ri-100 and an rs-100, a PS bhk 250, a Hegel 160, and an accuphase e-470, driving TAD cr-1s, TAD evolution ones, Sonus Faber cremona ms, Sonus Faber luitos, and Vienna acoustic Mozart’s.  Bottom line is i can mix up the amps with the speakers and get very different results in terms of sound, speed and listenability.  I also have had a pass int 150, pass int 60, plinius, ARC reference 110, ARC ref 75SE and a Hegel 300.  The real answer is to try out different amps with you magicos in your room with YOUR ears and see what YOU like.  That’s all that matters.  Audio is like art.  Somethings that some treasure are abhored by others.  The one thing i find is the more that some spend, the more rabid they become in convincing everyone their choice is the best.   But let your ears decide.  BTW right now I’ve falling in love with the PS BHK.  Rolled it with some amperex 6922 tubes.   Is kicking ass with my TAD CR-1s

@ eldonfung, I will throw some Insight here, magico by nature is a cold, analytical highly resolving speaker,  so I  decided to take on the challenge of making this speaker sound incredible,  I have the magico q3 speaker's on my second system,  after many auditions, I found the synergy,  this is amazing,  I  have got 200 hrs of break in on the Tara Lab's muse speaker cable's and interconnect's,  Tara Lab's cobalt power cord connected to the Luxman L-509X integrated amplifier on a dedicated line with furutech gtx-Rhodium duplex receptacle's,  cable's are significant here, you need to research all that is said on this post,  I believ you will like what you find out,  I  am also pulling the trigger on the ps audio direct stream memory dac and matching transport,  the current flagship digital to round every thing out,  this digital does every thing,  check it out, I hope this helps,  reply back when you can,  cheers
