Musical Fidelity A1 experiences

I have the original MF A1 and I never had the chance to get the right speakers for it. My past speakers that i used are Epos ELS3, Magnepan 1.6, MB Quart Domain 30's, Dynaudio Audience 52, Merrill Zigmahornet "fullrange" and never got the sound right. All of the speaker mentioned the sound it created, the bass is quite thin and the highs sometimes fatiguing. Does anyone have experiences on the best speakers to use? or is it the amps fault?

If I'm thinking of the right amp, it's the little 20wpc class A. I owned one for quite a while a number of years ago. Nice sweet sounding piece.

All the speakers you mention are not on the 'easy to drive' list. My guess is you are straining the little guy if the sound is thin and harsh.

You might look at some of the higher efficiency speakers, particularly those with higher impedance. I don't think class A SS likes 4 ohm loads.

And if you room is big, or you like to listen loud, that is definitely not the amp for you.
