Any love for Musical Fidelity integrateds?


I recently bought a Musical Fidelity m3si and I’m pleasantly surprised how much I enjoy the sound of it. I wanted a SS amp to use on hot days when my tube amp warms up half the house. I always heard good things about MF, so thought I’d try it, but there are few MF reviews online, so I was a little reluctant. The m3si has 85w/channel @8ohms which is plenty for my high sensitivity Tekton speakers. I’d describe it as sounding smooth and effortless; having good clarity and detail without being bright. The balance between bass, mids and treble is just right. I can listen for hours without fatigue. All in all a very enjoyable and engaging listening experience. A while back I sold my Hegel integrated as I pursued tubes, and regret it, but I’m glad to have the MF.

The Musical Fidelity M6si integrated amplifier looks interesting. Thoughts?

“Internally, the M6si is configured as 2 independent monobloc power amps with a separate pre amp. It is, in fact, a pre amp with 2 monobloc power amps that just happen to share the same casework”.

I need to give it a listen and check on its delivery time. TAS says “All in all the M6si offers true high-end sound quality, an extensive range of useful inputs, a compact package, reliability and a fair price”.

Where are they made?  Are there service facilities in the USA?  Thanks 

 

Really like my Tri-Vista 300 with upgraded umbilical and cables between the power supply main unit. Silver mains power cord also helped. 😊

I don‘t think you could name a manufacturer that has released such a  mixed bag..

musical fidelity has had quite a history, kinda all over the map, high and low points, do things their way, their own path to achieve excellent (nuvista, tube buffers, etc etc) ... their high points are very high e.g. (their tri vista dac is still wonderful), true giant killer performance, but other items are just ok... company has changed hands, new leadership, hope they make a comeback

yes designed in europe and made in taiwan (not that that is a bad thing)
