Update - It's been almost 5 years now since I bought my MF Trivista 300 integrated amp. All I can say is LOVE LOVE LOVE. I am still not out of my honeymoon period with it yet. I did sell my other integrated amp (Copland CTA 402), at a really decent price I might add, since I mostly use the Trivista anyway. I did however, bought a McIntosh MC300 power amp that I sometimes use through the pre-out bypass of the Trivista power amp, and run it through the MC300. However, I think the Trivista 300 holds its own without connecting it to the MC300. The Trivista by itself has a cleaner sound both high and mid. And can punch out enough solid bass all by itself. The only slight difference when connected to the MC300 power amp may improve the bass 1/100th of a percent (not that I can measure anyway. It just sounds a ever so slight better). It was an upgrade bug that caused me to get the MC300, maybe I'll get a pre-amp and run them as a separate system to the Trivista. BTW - I am still using the Trivista 300 with my Proac Response 1SC that I owned for over 12 years (and probably never sell but pass it down to my kid someday), and once in a while I'll plug in the Martin Logan Scenario. Audio Haven either way. Anybody out there thinking of a Trivista 300 should definitely give it a listen.
