Groovers
For many years I had naim amps; like many, I started with the lower levels (62/140) and gradually moved up, peaking at 252 / 300, which sounded fab to my ears.
For various reasons I've ditched the Naim amplification and took a bit of a punt on MF. I did some research and bought the M6si, a one-box combo.
I also moved house and now have a tiled floor to put the kit on, as against carpeted / concrete before.
I am astonished at how good this amp is.
I'm also worried about how small the differences between the Naim rig and this little box. In fact, and I fully accept the room may impact, in some areas I think the MF is better - microdetail, for example, which flies in the face of... umm.. something.
It takes a wee while to warm up, but nothing too bad. It runs warm, but so did my old Marantz PM94. Its detailed, has real grip on the bass and I love the sound it produces.
I'm slightly concerned about how good the bigger MF amps will be, although MF regard this integrated as a "destination" amplifier. I paid c£1600 for this, cost (new) of my Naim stuff would I suspect breach 20k.
Blimey.
I'm convinced.
