Speakers for Accuphase amps

[Macspur]

Apologies if this discussion has previously been posted.
In Accuphase owners opinion, which loud speaker is best suited to these magnificent amplifiers and why.
I really like the match with Harbeth, but I've never heard any other brand of speaker with either my E350 or the E470, so have nothing to compare against, so would be really interested in your thoughts.

They make shine every loudspeaker.

As a matter of interest, does theE600 run very warm? Magico are wildly expensive in the UK, what makes them such a great loud speaker?
Cheers

E-600 runs up to 53 degrees celcius, hottest point on the heat sinks.
The V3's are a bargain now, saw a set for 3000 GBP on ebay.
They have very low distortion, great resolution, coherence from top to bottom is excellent, closed box design. I find them very musical, a joy to listen too for longer periods.

Thanks for the insight into E600 and Magico... I used to own the Sugden Masterclass IA4 integrated, but couldn't live with the heat, particularly in my small listening room, plus it couldn't tame the base boom, unlike Accuphase.

I've heard that Focal work well with Accuphase amps, any experience here?

Hi! I just bought an Accuphase E-303. And it works exactly at 53° C.
Is recommended to use some kind of cooling to preserve the amp?
Thanks

53C (127F) on the heatsinks of an E-600 Class A amp is hot, but not unreasonable. However, The same temp on an E-303 Class AB amp is quite hot and would check the offset & bias on the output stages if were mine. While the E-270 is a considerably different/newer piece, mine runs quite cool and is barely warm to the touch at normal listening levels.

Thanks!
I paid for mine U$S 350. I bougt from a friend of my father. The amp was unused for 15 years.
