A very solid ask: at £2,042, this sits below the 25th percentile of the recent comparable range, so it reads as a strong deal rather than merely fair. With a median at £2,263 and the 75th percentile at £2,374, you’re buying it at a meaningful discount to the going used market.
That makes sense for a well-regarded, high-current stereo power amp: the Nu-Vista 300 is valued for its muscular drive, grip, and the extra refinement that the nuvistor front end brings. If the listing is genuinely clean and complete, the upside is good—especially on a sought-after Musical Fidelity piece that doesn’t come up every day. I’d just want confirmation on service history, proper test results, and any original accessories, because those details matter more than cosmetics here.

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.
