Anyone here with Magico A3 driven by Bel Canto Ref600's?

Mark Larsen sorry to disagree but look at a few other reviews on this amp.

Another reviewer prefered an Anthem M1 which is an okay sounding amp at best

Nor did we recommend any amp in our previous posts we did say the Anthem STR was similarily priced and is 400 watts and that amp might sound better.

From the Absolute Sound review

 Its mid- and low-bass response was not as vibrant and impactful as several of my reference power amplifiers. While not soft or overly fluffy in a tubey way, the REF600M did not produce the same amount of dynamic punch or bass slam as either the April Music Eximus S1 (used in bridged mode as dual mono amplifiers) or my freshly refurbished Pass Labs X150.3. 

Gee a Coda .8  a 250 watt 12 watts Class A a krell 175xd  or an Anthem Str  400 watt  Class A/B  want  to see which amplifier would really make those A3 sound great all of these amplifiers are not that much more expensive. 

The new Krell and Coda amps are stunning.

Yes, audiotry’s opinion trumps all of the Absolute Sound editors and writers.

Mark larsen we know many of these reviewers do you honestly think because someone writes for a magazine they know more or can magically hear better?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Ncore and Hypex based amps. They will mate with a wide variety of loudspeakers.

To answer your question audiotroy, all of them apparently hear better. It is not necessarily hearing, but in your case, bias founded in financial self-interest. For $5K, and I have owned them, the REF600M are terrific, award-winning amps at a great price. So we all disagree with your opinion.
