Every 6 months or so I start to ponder moving from the many many cubic feet Naim 500-level system I have (2 racks, 8 black boxes) to something 'downsized'.
Why? To own a system that dominates the room a little less, and to some extent just to 'try something different.'
I'd like to keep our Magico S5MkIIs (which, too, dominate the room a bit) as I like 'em.
Two thoughts are Nagra and Aavik, which obviously are VERY different. A Nagra HD demo with BIG Rockports blew me away at Goodwins a few years ago but the HD really is a bit much.
Will a Nagra Classic Power Amp drive these Magicos?
Fortunately I can demo both brands at home I'm sure.
