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.

Question -- what's the 2 meter room dimension? That sounds awfully small given the other two figures.

Sorry, that was my floor to ceiling height. But it’s more than that, about 2.5m high.

I bought the Hegel h360 before I decided on my speakers after comparing the Hegel to other brands with the old speakers. The Hegel actually made such an improvement in the sound of the old speakers I would’ve been happy keeping them, but that system was over 25 Years old And I was replacing everything. Hegel integrateds have a built in dac and the x90 are the latest. Mine is currently driving the persona 7f. If a speaker manufacturer recommends something they’re not financially affiliated with its probably worth a listen. Have fun with it though, try as many brands as you can.
