Our Thoughts RADAR AI

Against the usual £1,995–£2,245 range for an M6 500i, this asking price sits right on the median, so it reads as fair rather than a steal or an ambitious ask. At £1,995, it’s priced like a proper market-level buy for a big Class A/B powerhouse, not a speculative premium.

That makes sense for a model known for huge current delivery, a neutral, controlled presentation, and the ability to grip difficult speakers without sounding forced. If the unit is clean and fully working, it’s a very sensible way into a genuinely serious integrated amp; just make sure you’re happy with its hefty size, weight, and no-frills feature set before committing.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Musical Fidelity

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.
