Musical Fidelity A3 CR Power Amp + Lsi 9

Posts: 196
I have done a few searches on this amp with relation to the Lsi 9 and haven't really found anything. There are plenty of threads that mention the A3cr pre-amp, which is suppose to be pretty nice, but not too much on the power amp. I was just wondering if any polk members have combined any of the Lsi series with this amp and what the results were. I am looking to move a step up from the Adcom amp that I am running now.
Thanks

The MF amp will be leaps and bounds better sounding that the Adcom. I had a similar experience. I went from two ADcom 565s to an MF TriVista and couldn't be happier.

I have run many MF amps and love them! Never used a solo amp, but their integrateds (have had A3.2 and A308) are awesome.
I think it will be a great sounding and handsome system! What would be your pre and source for that setup?Stereo Rig: Hales Revelation 3, Musical Fidelity CD-Pre 24, Forte Model 3 amp, Lexicon RT-10 SACD, MMF-5 w/speedbox, Forte Model 2 Phono Pre, Cardas Crosslink, APC H15, URC MX-950, Lovan Stand

The MF amp will sound AWESOME with the LSi9.Vinyl, the final frontier...
Avantgarde horns, 300b tubes, thats the kinda crap I want...

Nice to hear! I'm using an Adcom GFP 750 for pre and Project RPM 9.1 w/2M Black cart and Cambridge 640C v2 as sources. I suppose it will provide ample power for the 9's? We live in a smallish apartment, so I'm not going to be cranking it.Mains - Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand

I think you are getting some great, quality watts from the MF and will have no problem driving the 9's. I think the A3 is 210 into 4 ohms which should be nice.Stereo Rig: Hales Revelation 3, Musical Fidelity CD-Pre 24, Forte Model 3 amp, Lexicon RT-10 SACD, MMF-5 w/speedbox, Forte Model 2 Phono Pre, Cardas Crosslink, APC H15, URC MX-950, Lovan Stand

I also love the A 308.I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D
