In nieuwstaat. Zeer zeldzame high end speaker, ontworpen door martin colloms.
Musical Fidelity’s MC4 is a respected, no-nonsense phono stage, and at €200 this listing lands below the €215 25th percentile of your recent comparable EUR listings, so it reads as a genuine bargain rather than just a fair ask. With a €226 median and €237 75th percentile, there’s clear room here for a buyer to feel ahead of the market.
That’s the kind of piece people buy for the long haul: musical, quiet, and competent enough to stay in a system while still being easy to resell if needed. The upside is strongest if it’s a clean, complete unit with a healthy power supply and no channel imbalance or hum, since those are the practical things that matter most on older phono gear.

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.
