Musical Fidelity X150 Integrated Amplifier (Solid State) Up for sale is this very capable Musical Fidelity X150 integrated amplifier. In excellent condition, with remote control and original packaging included in the sale. Feature packed with 3 line inputs, plus a MM phono stage, 1 tape rec output, can be used as a preamplifier as well.

Also capable of driving 4 ohms speakers. http://www.audioreview.com/product/amplification/integrated-amplifiers/musical-fidelity/x-150.html Postage availab
Against your 31-listing AUD benchmark, A$840 is above the median A$611 but still well below the 75th percentile A$2,326, so this reads as a fair-to-strong buy rather than a bargain or an ambitious ask. It is not cheap enough to call a steal, but it is comfortably inside the typical used-market band for this model.
That makes it a sensible pickup if the unit is genuinely clean and fully working. The X150 is a respected solid-state integrated for straightforward, no-fuss amplification: enough power for many bookshelf and moderate floorstanding speakers, with the Musical Fidelity house sound usually valued for drive, control, and easy listenability. At excellent condition, the upside is strongest if it includes the original remote, box, and manuals, since those add real practicality and resale strength.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Musical Fidelity, a British hi-fi icon, traces its roots to 1982 when clarinettist and audio enthusiast Antony Michaelson founded the company in London. Disillusioned with the sound quality of existing gear after his stint at predecessor Michaelson & Austin, he handcrafted his debut product—a minimalist preamplifier dubbed "The Preamp"—on his kitchen table. Paired with the quirky Dr. Thomas power amplifier, these designs disrupted the market with their bold aesthetics and sonic punch, establishing Michaelson’s experimental ethos from the outset.
The brand has long centered on amplifiers as its cornerstone, spanning integrated, power, phono, headphone, and preamp models renowned for Class-AB topology and innovative touches like Nuvistor tubes. It expanded into streaming players, DACs, CD players, Bluetooth receivers, all-in-one systems, and even headphones and turntables, always prioritizing musicality over convention. Unconventional industrial designs, from curved heatsinks to sculptural panels, became signatures, influencing competitors.
Positioned firmly in the high-end arena, Musical Fidelity commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its value-driven performance and soulful sound. Iconic models like the A1 and F-series endure as collector favorites, blending accessibility with premium engineering. Acquired by Austria’s Audio Tuning in 2018, it continues evolving under new stewardship while honoring its heritage as a boutique force in British hi-fi.
