Hi Olaf, I just picked up a pair of V3's two weeks ago to replace my Martin Logan Spire's and Von Schweikhert VR 4 HSE3 speakers. I am still exploring the Magico's, working on placement (fractions of inches matter) and amplifiers. My front end is an Ayre QB9, sota sapphire/MMT/dynavector Karat17d3, Audio Research PH5, a heavily modified Marantz SA14 and a Korg M1000. My preamp is an Audio Research Reference 1. I cycle between 3 amps, an Audio Research VT100 III , a Krell KAV 2250 and a nuforce V2 SE. Speaker cables are Stereovox and interconnects are Acoustic Zen Silver Reference, power cords are MAC Paradise. All I know is I am totally sleep deprived as I am listening, listening and listening some more getting a handle on things. All 3 amps sound great in different ways, but one thing is for sure, the Magico's want power to open up and come alive. Fortunately all 3 amps are up to the task, but will most likely chose a flavor and then move up-stream. I'll keep you posted.
What is your rig?
Cheers,
Ron
