Thanks for the input guys.

i was considering a 6500,but never heard one. did you buy one, if so what is your opinion on how it sounds?

It's a nice unit, still have to auditon it with respectable speakers. I've had the 6500 for about 9 months now. Looking back, i would check out some integrated tube amps or arcam integrateds.

Once again I note I have yet to hear the full dynamics due to the fact of the current speakers being utilized. None the less the sound is very warm.

System matching is critical as you can see from the posts above. That is the problem in audio: You never know how good any equipment actually can be. Arthur

I heard MA 6500 with some Totem loudspeakers and SONY SACD in some dealer demo, to was mid-hifi at best (I was thinking about buying it too), so audition is a must. I used to have MF A300 amp, contrary to rave Stereophile review it was not a very musical amp. I used to like much more my previous amp Electrocompaniet.
