What Ampliffier And Magico A3


Hello,
What is the best amplifier for magico a3?
Now i use two monoblock Classé Audio Omega with a Nagra PLL, but i thing that i need something more dynamic ... maybe something like a Spectral Audio DMA 250 or 260 ...???..
I listen jazz, french and classical music..

Some suggestions?
Thanks.

Hello mirza78,

     I recently happened to hear the A3s at a local high-end shop that were being driven by a Mark Levinson 5805 integrated amp and the combination  sounded excellent playing jazz and classical from both vinyl and hi-res digital file sources.  
     The soundstage produced was one of the most realistic, life-like, detailed, 3 diensional and natural I've heard in years.  The background was exceedingly quiet and the dynamics seemed as powerful and natural as the sources dictated. Just beautiful music played back in equally beautiful high quality.

Mirza what makes you think that your massive Classe reference amplifiers are not dynamic?

The issue you may be having may be solved possibly by changing your source perhaps or cabling?

If you want to increase a system's speed and dynamics often adding footers can help tremendously. 

The Spectral sound is fast and clean perhaps your system is too dark and that is why it sounds less dymanmic to your ears.

We would need to know the entire setup before making any positive recommendations, but we would look at what you are trying to accheive.

Older Classe gear was very warm sounding the Nagra is very uncolored.

Anytime I've heard Magico paired to VAC at my dealer's, it's been excellent - extremely musical. Any of the current VAC lineup, including the integrated, are fantastic.
