Where to go next to power my vivid speaker
this comment is probably coming late, but I love my MuFi M8 monos. They pair fantastically with my Giya 2s. I do wonder about the Devialet 400s in mono, but I am so happy with my M8s that I can't make the effort to try the switch. 
New Musical Fidelity M8 pre - anyone heard this
I've had the M8 pre and monos for a bit over a year now. I continue to marvel at how good they are. I find them absolutely neutral, tremdously quiet or, because its tough to hear quiet, amazingly transparent and revealing. For the monoblocs specif... 
Is the Musical Fidelity Nu-vista M3 outdated
its still an awesome amp. if you can, returun it to mufi for their fine tuning program, it is worth the money and then some. i did this with both my M3 and my kw500 and was very pleased.

This not the most scientific assessment, but here goes. I just put platinum electras and electra 7s into my system and am very impressed. Now, to be fair, the platinum electors replaced an old synergistic research master coupler II on my DAC and a...

New Musical Fidelity M8 pre - anyone heard this
the Pass is in a system with MIT Oracles, well known for their soundstage.I am quite happy with my choice of the M8 over the Pass so I won't belabor the point. Just wanted to give a bit to the forum in terms of my experience. But have you listened... 
New Musical Fidelity M8 pre - anyone heard this
Ok, i've put about 200 hours through these amps and am comfie they have largely settled down. They are awesome!i am going to have to disagree with Bo1972. The M8 pre is much more transparent and detailed than the Pass XP20 I listened to and have g... 
vivid giya g3 anyone ?
I have listened to them repeatedly at my dealer's showroom and think they are great. super dynamic and accurate. So...I bought the G2s! which are nothing short of fabulous. but in my experience these speakers like power. i started driving my G2s w... 
vivid giya g3 anyone ?
i have the G2s. Simply awesome, but my experience is that these speakers love power. I am driving them with Musical Fidelity's amazing new-ish M8700 monoblocs amd M8 pre and couldn't be happier. Fantastic detail and speed at SP levels from low to ... 
New Musical Fidelity M8 pre - anyone heard this
I took the plunge and bought the M8 pre and M8700 monos. they are still new and will probably benefit from run-in, but are nothing short of awesome. The pre is the really special component. Stunning transparency and detail. 
Musical fidelity Nu Vista M3 vs Ayre AX-7e
If by chance you live in the UK i recommend you send your M3 to Musical Fidelity for their fine tuning program. It makes what starts as a great amp an awesome amp. 
Shootout: Raidho C3.1 vs Vivid Giya 2
I listened to both again yesterday, although in different systems. With the caveat that I recognize that my perception of differences may have more to do with associated electronics and cabling than the speakers themselves my impressions are:-- Th... 
Speaker grills on or off?
No question. OFF,unless you have to have them on because of children or cats... 
Shootout: Raidho C3.1 vs Vivid Giya 2
@Kiwi_1282001. Thanks. I want a bit more low end extension so I have been thinking more about the C3.1s.Re the Vivids, I hear you about the funky appearance, but it doesn't bother me. The Raidhos are clearly better on the appearance front, but I h...
