Does any own/heard the MF A5 integrated? Been offered to me by shadow audio for a VERY tempting price but i cant actually travel that far to hear it! I might listen to it in 7oaks 2moz aswell   Problem is they dont have a very big range and only stock a handful of manufacturers. Heard the new audiolab 8000 with the matching power amp today-very fast and exciting sound with quite abit of kick. Too bad they are dead ugly though...and casewrok feels worse than my marantz(!) I plan to hit emporium with Rory at some point too before i make my final decision but will keep you posted about tommorows amp demo's...

How about this? A icon audio stereo 60 with 4 KT88s for £1299?
