What amp for Q5's? Spectral, Solution, Gryphon


What amp would you recommend for the Magico Q5? Contenders include Solution 710, Gryphon Colosseum, Spectral 360 Series II, VAC 450, or Boulder amps?

The 360 do NOT have to be used with a (Spectral) Preamp. I have been playing with my dCS Elgar Plus (dac/pre) for many years. Works like a charm.
magico+soulution= very good sound.heard the q3with soulution and it was very good.
I have Rowland 8T sounds wonderful on MAGICO MINI 2.A pair of used 9T would sound wonderful Soulutions are over priced Spectral sounds great as well.Good luck with Q5s.
A couple of weeks ago I visited a customer who has Q5s driven by Spectral 360 monoblocks. He listens at low to medium volume only, yet he voluntarily said the amps were not the best match for the Q5s, so he is looking at other amplifiers. The Q5s are quite a bit less efficient than their other models and appear to need some serious power to drive them well.
