NAD M3 vs Musical Fidelity M6i

"looking to upgrade my current nad c350 to a more "real" audiophile piece."

The only way to do that is become a "real" audiophile. Generally speaking, as the level of equipment goes up, you need to have greater knowledge and experience in order to use it to get good sound. Spending money and getting a system that sounds good to you are 2 completely different things. Buying from reviews and comments is not a good strategy.

I think Pete, here, is simply trying to get some good information.
I've been curious about Musical Fidelity and how people here think they stack up; I almost pulled the trigger on some NAD pieces, opting instead for better speakers for my Rega Elicit-R. However, would be curious, too, about Musical Fidelity.

Pete, not trying to hijack your thread. Interested to see your responses,

The pass/int 150 of all you mention is probably the best of all you have mentioned...used/obtainable when you cab find.The newer m6is is supposed to be refined version.
I also would consider the hegel 160...yes it is more money.Getting to a place were your not constantly upgrading and taking the hit is just...well ideal...and I assure you I didn't do that but if you can...don't cheap skate.

I like bang for buck too...but refinement is ultimately is what I think you would want...higher wattage amps do offer that sense of scale and dynamics that a lesser wattage amp cant give...pairing/cables/teaks,ect and setup is crucial as well.

When considering a piece of gear...call manufacturer to as what speaker they would consider?

Going through trial and error is all apart of eventually getting it right.
