Amp-preamp, Integrated paring with Magico A3
In general Magico need current. I’d highly recommend the VERY under-rated T+A PA3100HV and its matching power supply PS3000HV - world class sound. equally you won’t go wrong with Gryphon 300 or the new 333 integrated. Vitus also do very well. I’d... 
Best amplification for Magico S3 newer version on your experience
Originally I drove my Magico S5 with a pair to Devialet D440 Expert Pro, astoundingly removing and transparent. Although missing a little soul and musicality.  After a LOT of research, I took the plunge on T&A PA3100HV integrated.   Hqving hea... 
speaker upgrade from Magico A3
I’m currently enjoying a T+A MP3000HV MK2 through a PA3100HV paired with Magico S5 and I think you’d be hard pushed to find better for the money. its a spectacular paring - the warmish and very musical PA3100HV is magical with the highly transpar... 
Power cord upgrade
If you want body and soul without losing transparency and soundstage try Clarus Crimson, exceptional, not just for the price.  
Opportunity to buy Demo Magico M2?
Without a doubt, if you can, buy the M2's they're an exceptional speaker.  I have S5's and a very very revealing system riven by Devialet mono's with JL Fathoms subs.  The M2'as are not a large speaker but stunning to look at and exceptional build... 
Large room acoustics - thoughts on taming echo?
With repainting and unpacking it's taken a while to get my system back up and running.  Now it is I'm hearing the full effects of what sounds like a large bathroom echo despite a large rug and furniture.  It looks like I'll need a more drastic app... 
“House” Character of Popular $20-$30k Speakers
Vimberg, Rockport, Magico and Estelon would be at the top of my list with that amp - resolution, transparency, body and soul. Do explore adding a pair of quality subs like JL Fathom F112/3 - so much more than just bass, you'll find the entire spe... 
Advice needed on power cables, wall warts, conditioning, electrical outlet
We live in a different world today - the mains power is increasingly noisy and polluted. Thankfully, there's a plethora of solutions from several manufacturers.  I use Goal Zero and a Yeti 1000 for my Devialet system, others with traditional powe...

Power regenerator vs conditioner
I run a Goal Zero Yeti 1000 for my pair of Devialet D440 and it's a game changer, bests every other conditioner by a mile and a bargain for the level of improvement. I do use SR Galileo PC's to the amps.  Magical and without comparison. According ... 
Best integrated for my needs????
There's a unique match with Magico and Devialet centered on their common approaches to phase coherency.Without doubt some of the very best, state of the art sound and best used value is Devialet D440 with Core Infinity paired with Magico S5 Mk1.  ... 
Shunyata or Synergistic for power conditioning?
Oh and a Goal Zero Yeti 1000 powers the D400's completely off the grid and is truly a game-changer. Significantly better than any previous conditioner I'd tried. I will admit I've yet to try the PC12 UEF. 
Shunyata or Synergistic for power conditioning?
Samsca - I recently upgraded my Stealth Audio M7000 power cords on my Devialet D400 to SR Galileo UEF and couldn't believe the difference. Like entirely new amps!  Try them and you'll keep them.  Finally added SR Atmosphere Euphoria speaker cables... 
Sell your $$$ cables and conditioners... affordable LITHIUM is here!
An update a year in:My system is on standby 24/7 and in use maybe three hours a day.  I've made a few cables changes and added an Intel NUC driving ROON instead of my MacBook Air - all worthwhile and noticeable changes.  A couple of weeks ago the ... 
Sell your $$$ cables and conditioners... affordable LITHIUM is here!
I find the fan comes on after an hour or two of listening, last for maybe 15-30 mins and then goes off again for ages.  Might come on twice in a whole evening.  I unplug while listening as I think it does sound best that way and plug in and charge...
