@fleschler Few tube amps provide the low
impedance stability to propertly drive Magico’s less efficient models.
Anecdotally Magico has good synergy with the flagship CAT mono’s, CJ Art
300 Anniversary mono’s & the new Absolare Signature hybrid mono’s. I
could also see the bigger VTL mono’s such as the MB-450 Series III used
by @folkfreak and Siegfried Series II being an excellent match.

"Maybe that’s one reason Magico sounds bad most of the time" - I can’t quite agree with that view. My experience auditioning various Magico speakers over the years has been quite the opposite. That’s not to say every Magico speaker i’ve auditioned has sounded good on a given day. Issues like system synergy and speaker hours have been mitigating factors on a couple of occasions. The best amps i’ve heard for synergy with Magico are Vitus, Boulder (latest series), Absolare & Soulution (latest series). Though I could also see CH Precision pairing well. In fact Magico LLC are now using CH gear in their listening room. Thanks for posting the link to your room. I’ll check that out properly tomorrow if I get a chance. I like the VTL amps. If I ever come across a stonking deal on a pair of 2nd hand Siegfried Series II mono’s & a TL6.5 Series II pre, I could be sorely tempted. |
