Integrated Amp to match with Magico A3
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. |
