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

@jakebenton  I think this is a hobby and I’ll never understand why people like you try to take the fun out of it for everyone else.
Your whole response to sinewaveron was well put.
You'll soon learn, there are a few on here who never miss an opportunity to brag about themselves or their uber expensive equipment while demeaning someone else - Whatever Stokes Their Ego.
There are also a good many who regularly give helpful advice, so hang in here with us - we're not all jerks...Jim

i wasn't degrading anyone. I'm a electronic technologist, and Audiophile for 30 years. I can easily hold my own pertaining to electronics. I always change equipment, and everyone has a opinion. CHOW
@jhills - Thanks for the kind words. I’m glad to see there are others here who want to share the joy. Speaking of joy... I got a surprise call from my dealer on Thursday morning and they had my A3s ready for pick-up! I’ve been breaking them in with the Hegel H360 for the last few days and so far it’s been amazing. From the first track I played I went from thinking I was nuts for spending so much money to wondering why I hadn’t done this years ago. My wife and I spent last evening drinking cocktails and listening to Laura Marling. It was amazing - and probably the second best thing you can do with a beautiful, tipsy women in the dark :-)
