Questions about Musical Fidelity M5si Integrated

Hello,

I've been strongly considering the M5si integrated, and I have a couple of questions about it.

First, I have seen some posts in various forums about issues with using the HT bypass input, mainly things like noise, cracks or pops etc.  Does anyone here have experience with this amp and using the HT bypass on it?

Second, I am trying to get a reply from the manufacturer on whether or not this amp is a 'common ground' design, or instead if the negative speaker terminals are floating.  My speakers require that the negative speaker terminals are tied together.  Does anyone here know?

 

Thank you,
Greg

hgeifman, when contacting MF in the past, was it via email?

I emailed them at info@musicalfidelity.com and also their 'parent' company at ordersus@focal-naim.com

Did you use anything different for making contact with them?

Well, Focal-Naim finally did get back to me and confirm it's common ground.  They apologized for the long wait, and the person who originally received my request had told me that their service department was pretty backed up.  Still, this did take a pretty long time, but at least they did reply.
