Integrated stereo amplifierOutput power (per channel): 150 WattsInputs: 4x RCA, 1x USB (DAC), 1x MM Phono, 1x triggerOutputs: trigger, fixed line, variable preampDimensions (H x W x D): 100 x 440 x 405 mmWeight: 14.6 kgFunctions excellent, sounds beautiful, cosmetic condition is as good as new. Unfortunately, I have to part with it due to a smaller hi-fi setup. Complete with cloth case, remote control, and documentation (no box anymore).
At US$1,196, this lands right on the median of your recent comparables, so it reads as a fair, market-correct asking price rather than a steal or an inflated ask. It is also comfortably below the US$1,534 75th percentile, so there is no reason to view it as ambitious on price alone.
That makes it attractive if the unit is clean, complete, and operating normally, because the M5si is well-regarded for a big, muscular, easy-to-listen-to presentation with real current delivery and enough drive to make most speakers wake up. The upside here is simple: at a median price, a well-kept example with the original remote, box, and no signs of abuse is a solid buy for someone wanting substantial integrated power without moving into fussy separates.
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.
