Magico A3, suggested integrated amp.

Kicking some ideas around recently and the Magico A3 has got me interested. Will also need an integrated amp. (For Budget reasons). A few integrated amp. models that are within my budget are:

Naim Audio SuperNait3 80W
Luxman L 509x              120W
Pass Labs INT.60           60W (heavily biased to Class A for 30W)
Accuphase E650 ClassA 30W
Accuphase E480             180W

Any I should discard right away or any I need to add to my short list ?

Room is 8m x 4m x 2m and I like pop, rock, blues exclusively.

I spoke with Alon Wolf a while back and he told me he really likes Hegel amps and uses them in developing his speakers, so I’d definitely add Hegel to your list if it’s inline with your own tastes.

it depends on the preference for sound . if you want want punchy then naim, the pass int 60 has a lush relaxed detailed sound, musical. i will say the luxman is between the naim and pass. consider the luxman 590 axII
