I'm the proud owner of the Musical Fidelity M2si amp

[Dom]

The Roksan Caspian M2 developed a fault and instead of repairing it I decided to buy a new amplifier.
The Musical Fidelity M2si is a brilliant amplifier, reduced from £800 to £500 ex demo which I will pay off in 6 months, £50 deposit.

After listening to it in the demo room with excellent speakers I was worried I would not have the same experience at home, as it turns out it sounds just a good.

So I am super happy and thought I would share my day.

Specs : 72 Watts into 8 Ohms, 137 Watts into 4 Ohms, 25 Amps peak to peak. 96dB SNR.

Thanks, I'm really happy with it. The mid range is detailed and the bass has a decent thump. Happy new hifi day it is.

That's what the the Sennheiser HD560S are for, no neighbour annoyance.

Can't beat a bit of credit to get something which was way over budget... I've done it so many times Enjoy, Dom

the bass has a decent thump

That was the first thing I noticed about the MF sound in comparison with preceding Arcams - the tautness and depth of bass.

The M2si is one of the better amps I've owned, and I wouldn't hesitate to have one again. It's extremely musical and involving with great detail levels and much more tuneful bass than the affordable Arcam models (A17/A18/SA10).

Enjoy!

Initially I was considering the Roksan Attessa at £899 but Sevenoaks said that they had an MF amp with £200 off.

They also said that this amp beats the Attessa. Unfortunately I never heard it to make that judgment.

I have 6 months to find it, even after that I can choose to pay it off slowly so there's no pressure.

Nice one.

Does it better the Caspian?

 

[Dom]

Nice one.

Does it better the Caspian?

Yes, but there may have been something wrong with the Caspian because this is an easier listen.

 

[plastic penguin]

There may have been something wrong with the Caspian because this is an easier listen and I love the mid range.

Good stuff.

Nice - wish mine looked that tidy. We have 20 miles of spaghetti.

Can't beat SSAV, they have some really good deals on the odd occasion. Got a shop in town, I can walk there in 20 minutes, and they're decent guys too. I have purchased kit off them which I wouldn't even have looked at had I not been able to buy it on credit, it helps to diminish and justify the shock and pain of the total cost.

Bought quite a bit of kit off them over the years, speakers; current TV, Amp+CDP, and headphones. Prefer to purchase in store than online as, hopefully, it keeps the shop open. I generally know exactly what I want before I walk in so there's not much in the way of sales skills to be utilised

It really helps to talk to real people that are there willing to the find deals for you and although I feel there's a little pressure to buy something, I can say no, but once your in there with the toys I couldn't help my self.

Depends on the branches. Most are franchised. The Epsom branch doesn't have many deals, if any.

Did buy the Leema from the Brighton branch as a clearance item, hence the cut in price.

I tried to strip it back to essentials, so no DAC, just PC to amp. I mean a DAC should improve things but its just more stuff in the chain. That's the thinking.

Yeah, come down to Brighton and have an ice cream.
