| MF-2500A match with Focal The CJ, in my opinion, would be a much better match. The MF is very solid state sounding. The pacing is very good but its a lean sounding amp. The CJ does a very good job at bridging the gap between ss and tubes. The MF does not. | |
| Need BAT Help PLEASE VK-6200 vx VK-600 for 2 Chan The one big drawback that I can see is that Wilson doesn't allow for biamp or biwire. If they did you could use 4 channels on your new amp. Still, it should sound OK, but it does seem like an odd choice for a 2 channel only system. | |
