MF is great. I am a dealer of it and they are a strong value. It is made in Taiwan so you are getting pricing associated with production in China with quality English Design. They are great sounding and are just a touch forward vs. neutral. Exactly what you would expect from a class AB Integrated. DAC is decent. Phono stage is better than what you would expect.
The M3, M5 & M6 integrateds are similar in sound profile and ability to replicate detail. The biggest difference is power output, size of transformers and chassis. The build quality is impressive. The remotes are kind of sad and are cheap plastic.
I have demo'd several Simaudio amps. They are great. Sound quality is exceptional. Can't go wrong with it even driving more forward speakers like B&Ws.
I am not sure if I would say Bryston's are "too clinical." That usually means so forward it is inching toward bright. I have listened to them driving a range of speakers and my POV is it is probably the most neutral between the three of these. Are they significantly better than MF or Simaudio? Not sure I would say that, they are just a little different.
Which one is best? Couldn't answer that. These are three pretty excellent choices. I know this is probably not that helpful and you would like to hear these two stink and this one is great.
I have never heard analogue audio and have no POV.
