Which amplifier should i buy

Hi,
Iv'e already asked , quite similar question , but i would like to clarify my question. So , Iv'e ordered a new speakers, Magico A3 and now i want to buy an amplifier, a tube amplifier. The amount of money that i can allow myself is up to 20,000$. The possibilities that i thought about are : zesto eror 300 / vtl MB -450 series ||| signature / vac phi 170 (two - i mean transform it monobloc) . Those are the options that i thought about till now. Does anyone can recommend which is the best option in this amount of money , it doesn't have to be from the option list that i mentioned.Unfortunately  there are brands that i can not buy in my country (ISR) , for example cat....
Thanks to anyone .

Nice set up!  I had the ARC Anniversary 40th, followed by the the Ref 10 preamp and I auditioned both the BAT and CAT counterparts as well as the Soulution 725.  I finally landed on the Octave Jubilee Preamp.  It was the clear winner over the competition and after 3 years I have never cast a wondering eye to other offerings. 

Best of luck in your hunt.  Have fun!

I agree with majority here. These are not tube friendly speakers. There’s a reason Alon Wolf features his speakers with Hegel. I would suggest tube preamp and solid state (e.g., Ayre monos, Asthetix, Hegel H30, Sim Moon) or hybrid (PS Audio BHK monoblocks) amps.

Hi,

I’m not as tube guy but If I where, I would check the Amplifiers from Canor Audio. Would go with a solution with 2 of this amps linked liked together.

Hope this helps

If you are still beholden to tubes, you might consider Quicksilver V4 monos. Big bang for the buck
