My Musical Fidelity amp died..What's next?


Hello and thanks for helping,

My MF integrated passed away, but it was time for an upgrade anyway... I listen to any kind of music through Maggies 1.7/Oppo sacd/ svc sub. Room is 18x12, I am looking at amps under 4k with lots of juice, integrated favored but space is not a problem..

Gdhal, the amp has been fixed before by a audio repair shop, now they said certain parts are needed and those are available just from the MF headquarters in England.. They have a ton of used and vintage gear, it seems like they know electronics, I 'll love to spend a little to repair it, those are still worth a good buck on the used market. I did not push Maggies hard, the room is rather small and blood will come out of my ears at max level( 200+ wpc @ 4 ohm) plus I have an other gear for partying loud...
Bastanu-

I have heard the Anthem 225 and it is very robust. So robust, in fact, it can drive a pair of Thiel CS 3.7 loudspeakers to concert levels (nice!).

Thiel is my reference and they "crave" high current.
Anthem or Pass Labs will provide you w/ the juice you need
for the Maggies. Keep me posted & Happy Listening!
Thanks everybody,

I experienced Maggies driven by Pass Lab 250.5 and I was quite impressed. It kinda blows my budget if a pre is needed...I got yesterday in the mail the Hegel H300-used and so far I like it a lot..maybe it will be a keeper
I own the Anthem 225 and it easily drives my speakers (none are super power hungry) and sounds great, IMO. I went to the Anthem to simplify my setup and have been happy. May be worth an audition if you have access.

Best.
