I stumbled across an amazing offer from a North-East based dealer the other day on a current Musical Fidelity model series- the A1008 Amplifier and CD Player..... combined these retail for over £6000 and had very good reviews at this pricepoint, but now it would seem MF are using this particular dealer to shift excess stock and both cd player and amp can be had for £2200 in total (or £1100 sperately)!!!
Now you can look at this in one of 2 ways..... If you bought the electronics at full retail I expect you will be pretty miffed as you see your second hand value plummet through the floor. If however you are on the lookout for a new amp / cd player / both then this seems like unbelievable value!
MF have history with this as well.... their superchargers were heavily discounted last year from their initial RRP... I imagine that this sales tactic will alienate quite a few of their existing customer base. Certainly a risky tactic!
If you wanted to complete the system you could do worse than add a pair of the outgoing Dali Helicon 800..... now available at around £2500 instead of the £4000 they used to retail at!
