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


Contemplating the A3's and would like to know if the REF600M will drive them properly. Currently using Martin Logan Montis and these aren't a great indication of what these amps can and will do.

To add some fuel to the fire here.  I don't have the Magico speakers but I do own the Theta Prometheus class D monos and also have, First Watt J2 and F6 and Pass 30.8 also have the Decware Zen triode tube amp. I feed mine directly from a DCS Rossini DAC/clock.  I've had many an amp and no way does the Class D get stomped all over as Audio Troy says.  I agree that they might sound a touch drier than the others but still I am always a little surprised how good they do when I put them back in the system.  I have been going back and forth with these amps for months also switching in and out some different speakers. For me it kind of depends on the music and the volume as to what I prefer.  I understand the though behind not wanting space heaters in the room, that is what drew me to class D.  If that is a high priority then Class D is pretty good.  I had a Coda TS400 and a Krell Duo 300 and I'd take the Theta Class D over either of those amps on sonics alone.  I have a friend who has some Bel Canto Ref 600 amps that sound very good and smooth at his system as well.  If I was choosing amps on sound alone I probably wouldn't go class D but if heat and power consumption was in any way important I would choose them and never look back.  They do sound good and as AudioTroy says you can flavor their sound with upstream gear.  
I have a question for Audio Troy can the Coda No 8 stereo amp image as good as ref 600 monos. Steven be Stone said they were exceptional at this same as Pass 150.5! Btw I'm a sucker for holographic imaging!😆
The coda have a huge soundstage depends on how you are feeding the amps preamp and dac affect soundstaging wr go bricasti m3 direct to coda sounds exceptional
Tgun, I reckon I amm2 years late into the discussion.
i own the Bel Canto Ref 600 driving MBL Speakers and they certainly can drive them as good or better than any of the Class A/B amplifiers I have heard.

I have paired the speakers with a well known European Class A integrated as well as push pull 100 w tube amplifiers . These Bel Cantos do not sound
unlike the other older ones..I am quite sensitive to high frequency pitch and once ran away fm
a hi Fi shop which was  running a class d amp.. but that was 15 years ago. The Ref 600’s do not have this problem.They are extremely musical and they do benefit from the addition of a tube pre amp, which is also the case with most solid state amplifiers.

Magicos are not overrated, what you heard was obviously not set up right or matched to the appropriate gear, the Magico S5 we have on our floor are stunning sounding, and one of best speakers I have ever heard regardless of cost.
