Best amplification for Magico S3 newer version on your experience

The truth is that all competently designed amps of low output impedance, low noise/distortion and sufficient power to avoid clipping will sound indistinguishable. There is no ever- upward path to sonic Nirvana. What you are paying for above the basic performance level is visual appeal/jewelry. The Rolex analogy applies here!

Preamp: Rotel Michi P5,  5k

Power Amp:

Rotel Michi S5, around 9k

800 watts/4 ohms

or

Michi M8 monoblocks around 17k

1800 watts/4ohms to manhandle/adrenalize the 88db, 4ohm magico...

I’ve audited the Soulutions and D’Agastinos, didn’t miss em for a sec

I purchased a pair of S3 but now I am facing that I might not have the funds for

@mountainsong like Jason said, you don't need to fret over spending a gazillion as competent, incredible endgame can be attained for reasonable cost.

Your speakers are an [email protected]/1m sensitive set.

Magico’s nominal 4ohm rating is realised in a sub-5ohm trend from 53Hz-1.7kHz, and a minimum of 2.85ohm at 75Hz and less than 2.5ohm above 18kHz.

The impedance load is toughest in the deep bass where a big swing in phase angle of –66° at 48Hz precipitates a minimum EPDR of 1.09ohm at 62Hz.

So you need an amp rated for low impedance loads: Ideally stable into 2 ohms, and even better if rated for 1 ohm or less, to comfortably handle the 1.09 ohm EPDR.

 * Capable of high current delivery: The amplifier must have a robust power supply and output stage to instantaneously deliver the required current (around 3.74 A peak) into the complex and often very low equivalent impedance.

 * High Power Reserve: While 40W peak power is calculated for 100dB, an amplifier with a significantly higher power rating (e.g., 100W, 150W, or more into 4 ohms) would provide the necessary headroom to handle the challenging load conditions presented by the low EPDR and large phase angles without clipping or exhibiting dynamic compression.

Your Luxman is rated for 120W into 8 Ohm and 220W into 4 Ohm.

With dynamic peaks of 183W, 342W and 507W into 8, 4 and 2ohm

Hell it does 278W into 1 ohm.

TLDR, your amplifier is already competent and top of the line for your speakers. So unless I'm you listen at egregious SPLs, no need to spend
