Integrated for Magico A1


Looking for an integrated for my new acquired Magico A1 and Cardas Persec speakers cables.

Been offered these ones:

Mark Levinson 5805

Krell K-300i

Copland CSA-150

McIntosh MSA 5500

Ideally one of those with DAC and Phono Stage due to save boxes, cabling and wife approval! 

Thanks in advance.

Thank You all for the responses. I will consider all the options. Hegel is little cold perhaps?

That’s exactly why I asked what sound characteristics are most important to you or else this is just a big crapshoot in the dark.  Also, what’s your budget?  C’mon man, help us help you at least a little. 

Around 6.000€ in second hand, I love big and prominent midrange, realism, with some warmth but clarity (I also have Stenheim Alumine Two.Five paired with a Holborne Passion and a Weiss DAC and Holborne Analog 3 tt).

Coming from Harbeth and Devore, tubes and Moonriver amp, Also Tinapparate Model 59 with Phasemation SA-1500.

 

Jazz, Bossa, Soul, Funk, Classical, Folk, and some reggae and classic 60-79’s rock.

@superelmar - it seems you are also considering integrated amp+DAC options without the phono, is that correct?  If so, many other options
