Views of the Music Fidelity A300cr power amp?

Having recently upgraded the front and back ends of my system, I'm thinking I could use a smoother amp. I want to stay with a higher powered SS amp. Important qualities of sound reproduction are transparency, timing, resolution and accuracy of the midrange. I'm interested in opinions and comparisons for this amp. I'm considering the $2-3K+ price range.

Rich does have a good point if comparing the MF to the Adcoms. I believe once you go Single Ended Class A with no negative feedback..it will be hard to go back to the MF sound. And impossible to go back to the Adcoms.LOL

Hopefully the A300cr has more transparency and resolution than its cousin the A300 integrated. This integrated amplifier is definitely smooth sounding. But you lose some of the qualities listed to get it. It is very easy to listen too gear if that's what you seek. It isn't the most accurate either. It could bore you over time IMHO. It maybe best to listen before committing to a certain price range of amplifier. I would pick something like the Monarchy Audio Se250 Hybrid tube monos or something similar over the MF. IMHO the Monarchy gear is in a different league at a lower price.

Good luck
