Dream System: Magico + Coincident + Wavelength ?

What do you guys think of this system that came up in my head as my future perfect system.

Magico Q3
Coincident Dragon
Coincident Statement Line Stage
Luxman D-06 Or Wavelength Cosecant

I have heard each of these components separately and think they might go very well together. I own the Dragons so am 25% there. Been day dreaming about this as my perfect system.
Wondering what you think ? What would you change.

I love transparency, low level detail, full bodied sound (contradiction?) and but despise brightness or very forward analytical sound.

Listen to mostly jazz, acoustic, vocals.

Not sure that the Q3 and the 211 based Dragons would be the best combination. I've never heard the Q3, but with a nominal impedance of 5ohm with dips into the low 2's, it may present a challenge for Dragon which doesn’t even have a 4ohm output tap.

Agree with BRF on the Dragon's and the Magico's. I love the Coincident stuff, and I like the one audition I have heard of Magicos (not the Q3) but I probably wouldn't pair Magicos and Dragons.

I have to agree with Brf and Brownsfan. The Dragon MK II is a splendid
amplifier but I don't believe the low impedance Magico Q3 is the preferred
match. The Dragon has 8 and 16 ohm speaker taps and that would concern
me driving a speaker that dips below 3 ohms. Obviously if you could hear
them paired together that would settle the issue. Personally I believe that
the Dragon would perform to its fullest potential with a higher ohm load
speaker. The Magico probably is better suited for SS amplifiers. Essrand
the Dragon and Coincident linestage would be pure sonic heaven.

I am planning on similar system with the Magico Q3, Coincident Statement Linestage, Merrill Audio Veritas Monoblocks and the Lampizator Level 5 DAC with DSD. The Veritas have more than enough power to drive the Q3's.

4orreal,
That looks to be a very nice system you're planning, the Veritas amp would
seem a fine match with the Magico(in terms of driving the speaker load).
The Dragon MK II "may" work out well also but a 4 ohm tap
would be desirable with that speaker load. With the superb Dragon this is a
case of building around an amp rather than the speaker.
