Speakers for Musical Fidelity M3i

The MA Silver RX series uses the older Gold tweeter. This one is a lot more forgiving. MA is the only brand I know which also has a lot of depth even for the Silver RX series. Wenn you compare these speakers to B&W, Kef, Focal, Dynaudio the stage is wider and has depth. The other ones are almost only 2-dimensional. They weigh also less compared to Monitor Audio. More colouration. Monitor Audio is more me the most easiest brand to sell. Compare them with there competitors and they are better on the important parts were you judge every speaker for.

Try Quad 12L or better still 21L models. I use 22L ( best choice but you will have to buy used) in my home office that is 9x13 and have Quad powered nearfield monitors on my computer that work fine in the room.

I've tried the Epics with a NAD amp and I definitely prefer the MF. Compared to the NAD, the MF definitely has a slightly sweeter top end and midrange and seems to define space within the soundstage just a little bit better.

Every once in awhile I see people questioning whether the M3i is bright and that always perplexes me as I don't consider it to be bright at all.

For sources, I use a Music Hall TT and an Oppo BDP-95 for digital.

Some years ago I had an A5 combo (CD and integrated) and they worked very well with Focal Micro Be and Dynaudio Contour S1.4 speakers. However, MF works also very nicely with B&W, Monitor Audio (as already mentioned), Dali and most likely quite a few other speaker brands.
