It has been widely rumored that Alon Wolf is very fond of Hegel amps with his speakers, so I'd definitely add them to your list. Also, if Clayton M100s or M300s are available they're also worth a serious look along with Pass and ML. I heard the Q7s with some Vitus monoblocs and they were sublime, so that might be yet another option. I'd enthusiastically add Gryphon but not sure if they have US support here yet. The first thing I'd do is ask Magico what they'd recommend given your setup and tastes. Great speakers! Best of luck in finding the right amp. Let us know what you end up with and why, as I'm sure it will help lots of Magico owners going forward.
