Pass 250.8 would sound great.
Magico S1 - Dynamics and Amplifier Suggestions
Hi,
I just purchased a pair of Magico S1s and am driving them with a Simaudio 600 integrated. My room is only 12x17.
The speakers are very detailed and fast with the amazing 600 integrated, and the bass is the most detailed I've heard, it just doesn't go real deep which is expected with the small mid-bass driver.
I'm very happy with the sound, but I'm missing a little 'punch' that I had with my Revel F52s. I'm not sure if this is just the difference in the speakers where the S1 is a two way and the Revels have lots of drivers and were known to 'boogie'. One option is my 600 integrated although capable of 250w into 4 ohms doesn't have the drive needed for the Magico S1s.
Any input from folks who have Magico S1s or the S series with respect to what and how much amplification is needed to get them to sound dynamic?
I love the Simaudio integrated and don't really want to get into separates again unless I will hear a big difference.
I've been wondering about a Bryston 14B SST2, Pass 250.8, 350.5, XA60.5, etc... and then would have to get a preamp and another Interconnect :(
The S1s are very neutral and I'm using a Bryston BDA2 DAC which is also very neutral and detailed which is why I was wondering if the Pass amps might add a tad bit of warmth; I don't know if the Bryston amp might be too much of a good thing with the Bryston DAC and the Magico.
Thanks
