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

The PM-10 puts out 400 watts at 4 ohms.  The A3 is a 4 ohm speaker rated at 300 watts MAX and is 88db efficient.  What makes you think you need more power?

Simple advice, they might say 50-300 Watts recommended

more important than the brand is how powerful the amp is. Not saying quality is not important but for the A3 the power will give u more
good luck

I put Hegel H360 on my list as I believe  apart from power, the damping factor is equally important to the Magico case.  While a powerful sport car could drive fast and KO others easily. The driver and the engineer also need to make sure the car should have a competible braking system to make the car stop, or have proper control at the corner.
