Tigen, Sorry to disappoint, you but we are not trying to sell you anything!
First you state that you have your own opinions and then you throw out to the floor as it will with your questions to see what other people think of the pairing of the Magico A3 with the Bel Cantos.
Either you have your opinions and convictions, or you don’t.
To which we replied the only way you will know if the combo would sound good would be for YOU to try it for yourself, which is pretty sound advice.
Come on man if you owned a store for 15 years you would automatically know that the only way to reliablly predict the outcome of a pairing of a set of speakers and an amplifier is to try that combination and also know that once you have paired amp with speakers you might also need to change cables, or source components or both to create the sound you are looking for.
We told you that unless the other person has the exact same pairing of components and your taste the reply other than "sure it sounds good" is meaningless.
Also as noted the rave review on these amplifier basically stated that a pair of other amplifiers and an older Pass Labs amplifier outperformed this amplifier in certain areas we would guess than that bass control, and dynamics mean much less to you as the reviewer certainly prefered his other amplifiers in these areas.
Then we mentioned a few examples of non Class D amplifers that would give someone fantastic results that were not gigantic space heater amplifiers.
The T+A 2500R is a very compact 140 watt integrated and it runs cool and sound amazing. The Coda .8 runs warm and sounds amazing, even the Anthem STR runs pretty cool and sounds really good, no the Krell 175XD doesn't run that cool but does sound really, really good.
We then said unless it is size, power for dollar or lack of heat why would anyone choose such an amplifier?
As per your friend guess what is wasn’t us, we have not talked with anyone with a Calypso preamp nor do we generally call random audiogon people.
We might ask someone why thy were sellng a product if it is something we think is really good to understand their reasoning and experience considering we no longer sell Plinus and we don’t sell the Calypso preamp therefore why would we call this person?
Also we have had a tremendous amount of experience with Ncore, Hypex, Ice, and other Class D amplifiers.
Good luck Tigen and let us know just how magical the A3 sound with a set of Class D amplifiers.
