I'll confess, I have the Mcintosh MA352 (gives me the tube experience), C53 and the MC462 combo gives a fantastic solid state experience.. all bought in the last few months.. The last thing I wanted to checkout is a Class A amp. A balance of a fine brand and not too expensive.. And the Luxman L550AX ii fit that.. The L590 seems a little too expensive.. In all honesty, I do not know if I really need to spend any more if I am not going to get a big difference with a Class A..
All tbese purchases, the “tube experience”… you’ll be referring to your “audiophile journey” next. At least some things are “too expensive” so you aren’t completely lost in the audio abyss just yet.
Anyway, I’m going to give you unwanted advice…
STOP BUYING STUFF!
Now I’ve got your attention… you will soon have an excellent, if probably hard to drive, pair of Magicos. You already have a big and adequate McIntosh amp setup to drive them, so no problem. Stop, set that system up properly, take some time to live with them. Play lots of music - music is the point of this stuff, it really is. And take the time to think about what you really want from audio before grabbing for the next toy.
I'm guessing that you have very different aims from me, and that you are a "listening to equipment" person - well, people will say "rather than listening to music" but that's a bit insulting. You probably have space for more than one system, as well in which case you can more easily target different types of sound of which, let's say, true modern high fidelity may be only one. That's fine.
But I reckon you really should give that one good and expensive system undivided attention for a while rather than chasing more tubes/class A/class D/"that right kind of magic distortion" and all the other stuff that the broader "hobby" can offer. It'll all still be there in a few month's time.
You might decide that it's better to go the "ASR" route instead - improve the good system with ways of getting a better low end with EQ, room treatment and subs, and have better music rather than different sound as your future. You might find that what you have is all you really need. Or you may still want to explore those different equipment sounds. It doesn't really matter what kind of audio hobbyist or music listener you become. I just think now would be a really good time for you to slow down and appreciate the best of what you've already invested in before going after more/different.
