Integrated Amp to match with Magico A3

Have just ordered a pair of Magico A3, and looking for integrated amplifier to pair with it. As I heard once which had a very disappointing result to pair with Gryphon 300 in a local Hifi show in Hong Kong. Reallly looking for recommendations on matching amplifier. Planned to get a Marantz PM-10, but worried that the single box may not be powerful enough to push the A3. On the other side, some said Hegel H360 with 4000+ damping factor may suit even better.

thank you in advance

@eldonfung I encourage you to be patient and wait until you have the A3s in your own system. Evaluate amp pairings at that time via loan and demo units from a number of manufacturers/dealers. It’s really the only way to do it. For example, crossing off one option based off of one demo at a show is, in my opinion, not helpful...a setup rife with false negatives (in/under those circumstances).

Bring what you can into your own home / room and choose. Take your time. You are making a major investment in your own enjoyment and satisfaction (not just financially).

All the best.

I believe Magico uses Odyssey amps to voice their speakers.

My integrated amp I use with my A3’s, is the Vitus SIA-025 MKII. The sound is incredible. If anyone has the means, I highly recommend this integrated amp.
Amazing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
