Musical Fidelity Trivista 300 vs. kW500


A few extra $$'s appeared. Time to ditch the tweaked Hafler pre-amp/amp and go with my choice du jour: MF Trivista. Please advise...300 or the big 500 integrated amp. Driving my old but still damn good B & W 901F's, medium size room, mostly classical. Also need advice on a new (or good used) CD player to meld into this system...preferably multidisc (shudder you audiophiles). Thanks for any direction in the above quest. farmdoc

IMO, you can't go wrong with either one. Maybe get the Tri-Vista and with the money saved buy the matching SACD/CD player.
I have the TriVista. Although I love the TriVista, I spoke to my retailer about "moving up" to the KW500 (we all do this don't we?). His opinion was that the two are different, but the KW500 is not necessarily better.
I have not heard the "500" on my equipment. Maybe that might be a consideration before the big splurge but I am 130 miles from the nearest dealer.
