Thanks to all who posted advise and it does appear that MF is not really rated and I should be looking elsewhere. The rega elex r must be the starting point too!
I'm not sure how you come to that conclusion...
I'm not particularly familiar with current MF products but "back in the day" I would have had MF amps in preference to anything from Naim, Exposure, Meridian or Rega... and I don't like the company... some of the products yes.
A second hand A370 could be picked up for less than £1K I would have thought. Spend about £500 refurbing it and you have a power amp that will completely mullah anything from any of the above companies (going on £3K new in 1990 ish)
A P140 or P150 makes a great little 70WPC power amp that will scare off some expensive competition and at about £130 ish second hand I'd take one over an Exposure VIII all day long...
