What amp for Q5's? Spectral, Solution, Gryphon

From your list, it would be between Spectral and VAC for me.

You need to listen to all of the contenders with your Magico's at this level however.

I `d love the opprotunity to hear this speaker driven by either the VAC 450 or the Chalice Audio Grail mono blocks.
I`ve heard Magico with the Soulution(granted under show conditions) I was`nt moved by the experince at all.

Vac 450 for me. I'm not a Magico/Spectral fan from what I've heard at shows.

What pre-amp?
Qs would certainly benefit from some sort of soul infusion..
Assuming amp/pre from same manufacturer, the VAC 450 and probably Vitus should you choose to go SS.
Would consider Soulution, Gryphon, Boulder only with good tubed pre fronting them.

Greetings,
If you go with the Spectral DMA 360's you will need the Spectral pre-amp.
The Audio Dealer that I purchased my Spectral equipment from said the 360's can only be used with the Spectral pre-amp. The manual that came with the 360's says it must be used with the Spectral pre-amp.
Not sure about their other amps.
The VAC would sound great also. If you go with the VAC I would also suggest going with a tube pre-amp.
