Cheap class A intergrated power.....

I sold my MF A300 last year for $ 900. and felt lucky to get rid of it,even though I'd lost a bundle.The reason ? Even though it had great build quality and a lot of features including a ton of power, the sound was uninvolving and dull to the point of being annoying.Went to a 50 watt ASL tube integrated and it's a whole new world of listening.

Sounds like a tube man!LOL
50 watts on the wrong speakers can be uninvolving.
The sum of parts makes the connection not just one component.

All the Best!

I do'nt know if they come up in the US, but do'nt forget the good old Sugden A21 integrated. It's quite cheap, very reliable and wonderfully musically envolving in the right system. That means reasonably sensitive speakers, but presumably you would'nt be considering class A if you did'nt have those. I agree with JKaway, I have never liked Musical Fidelity much and I'm British, Sugden is a wondeful, but less well known company, with to me a much more envolving "house sound"

Cheap is relative - but new inexpensive Jolida 1501 or used Acurus DIA 10. I have seen some GREAT deals on Ebay for Hafler 9505 which has gobs of power and I think a great sounding amp. You will have to add a preamp to the Hafler. Good luck.

oooops! meant Acurus DIA-100 - sorry.
