Micromega to make UK comeback

[Andy Clough]

Spent a very interesting day yesterday with Didier Hamdi, the new owner of French hi-fi company Micromega. Those with long memories will remember Micromega has had a troubled history in the UK, but Didier has big plans for the brand with 11 new products going on sale now and a very interesting tie-up with Apple/iTunes planned. Read the full story in my blog.

Any word on why they departed the market after the late 90s? Their "Stage" CD players were pretty impressive from memory - a pal of mine had the Stage 3 and it was more than decent.

Yes, full story now online in my blog.

Interesting reading, good to see them back again. I like the clean styling of the new range too; very smart looking.

So, I realise it wasn't a full test as per the mag. rules, but was the kit any good?

Kudos to them - the more, the merrier. I remember owning a Micromega Stage 5 CD player and it was rather good.

Looking forward to their new line.

Let's just hope their reliability has improved - dealt with them at 2 dealers and it wasn't too inspiring. Did sound good though.

Kit looks 'pleasant' enough, without being exactly ground-breaking ....... wish they could come out with something more like the older Solo/Duo/Trio designs......... or will they once they find their feet again!?

I love the house sound (stage 4, many years ago!) but if I ever going to buy this brand again they must come with 5 years RTB warranty!
