Musical Fidelity

Anyone have much experience with Musical Fidelity? I recently just kind of came across this U.K. gear manufacturer and my interest was piqued on their higher end line.  Looks like lots of value/performance for the dollar, but I’ve not come across their stuff before, nor heard any yet in person.   Anyone…good or bad experience ?   Thanks.

Can't recall where I saw this, may have been some online audio zine. Article was about Project's purchase of MF, had many pictures of MF and Project manufacturing facilities, looked top notch. These were somewhere in eastern Europe as I recall.

I thought they are quite well known for amazing sounds and not huge money. My experience was with a very old A1 and wow that little thing was IMPRESSIVE! I've not listened to their modern offerings though.

Great values on the used market. Just picked up an A1008 for a great price. Sounds very similar to my tube amp but with bags of slam and control. I had a Parasound A21 a while back and liked it. The MF has cleaner highs and is more detailed but is still very smooth.

Andrew Robinson and Kevin Deal have good YT reviews. I recently matched an M8xi with Focal Aria 935 K2s. I've read many laudatory reviews of MF products. Very seldom find a bad word about them. Hard to find better build, sound and resale for the money. It has changed hands due to owner retiring. Same sound engineers (20yrs+) are still on board. Andrew Robinson says the M8xi compares very favorably even with extreme hi-end makes and models. Known for clarity, power, listenability, and build.

I recently purchased a A220 Integrated amp made in England. It's 20 years old and sounds sweet. It's all analog, no digital. I've owned a few other pieces with no issues.
