The timing is fine: this is the current M6s PRX generation, not a dead-end older amp, so you’re buying into a respected, still-relevant Musical Fidelity power stage. At US$1,995, it lands exactly on the median of the recent USD comps and just below the 75th percentile at US$1,998, so this reads as fair market pricing, not a bargain or a stretch.
What makes it worth a look is the combination of stout 230W per channel output, dual-mono build, and the kind of clean, controlled drive these Musical Fidelity power amps are known for. If the unit is clean, quiet, and comes with the right packaging or accessories, it’s an easy yes for someone wanting serious grip and scale without overpaying; given the age and weight, I’d just verify condition, transport safety, and that it hasn’t lived a hard rack life.
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.
