I've been told it won't be available till Feb 2022.

Should I wait or is there another integrated amp with similar specs I should be looking at to go with my new L600's?

I might be able to find a Musical Fidelity M5si Integrated Amplifier, but it doesn't have balanced inputs which I would like to have. Anyone compared the two as far as sound?

    Have you shopped the used market for one...such as US Audio Mart, Hi Fi Heaven, or Music Warehouse (I think thats the name out of CO.)?

    Yes, I've been looking for awhile. It has to be black.

    February's not that far away. Get an order in now and the manufacturer may be able to gauge if they want to, or can, speed up production and transport to the US market. Not sure if the MF products are made in Europe or Taiwan now, but supply chain and transport issues are everywhere for the next year or so.

    If the M6si is really what's wanted long term I'd just use something else I already had in the interim and wait.

    MF products are not alone in this. Lot's of various electronics are out of stock because of the "chip" shortage and some places have no idea when they'll be back in stock. In this "world economy" it is what it is...

    I messed up, I thought I had put this the the 2 channel part of the forum. I would like to get it moved there.

    I have it on order with HiFi Heaven.

    Yea the chip shortage is hurting everyone.

    Yeah, that time will pass quickly, and when you finally have it, it will have been worth the wait.

    Parasound HINT6 could be an option?

    The Parasound HINT 6 was one I considered, but decided on the M6si.
