New amp.

I have so far these 2 to chose from:
MF KW500 i had one before and i miss it.3 years old.
Or a pre and power:Gryphon Tabu Pre One- Gryphon Tabu/Two Onehundred.Appox 7 years old.

Wich one

 

Neither

Seriously, What's your budget?

 

New amp

Around 3K

 

Ah, then I have the very thing to suggest. On hififorsale there is a Berning ZH270 integrated amp for sale at your budget (it's not mine). I know that people keep harping on about them, but it really is head and shoulders above any amp that I have ever heard. It's a no brainer really, buy one of those and you'll never want to have another amp again.

 

Well some does

 

some?

oh you mean someone.

the only other person I know who sold one, regretted it and ended up buying another one a while later!

 

Neil,

I think Cooky's referring to the seller on hififorsale.

 

Wich is best and why?
MF KW500 VS KW550.

 

The 550. The number is bigger.

Honestly I would not buy a piece of Musical Fidelity if I could avoid it. It never fails to disappoint me sonically. Whatever you buy will be next to worthless in 6 months, and their actual build quality is extremely shoddy compared with rivals.

Why are you so keen on them if I might ask?

 

I really like the sound.Had the kw500 before and a.3.2/A5.
Also a i can pick up a KW500 for £2K 2 years old.

 

Very much all depends on the speakers you are using, the size of the room, the music you like, your earlier tastes in hifi, etc. etc. Give us some background please...

 

OHH! Dont know where to start!
In the last 3-4 years:
MF KW500/A5/A3.2
Kenwood L1000 series
Bow wazoo XL

Martin logan aries i/aeon
Using Vienna acoustics now.
Music Hmmm.All from rage against the m. to Beehoven

 

If I may say so, it sounds like you need to try a totally different approach. That list is all much of a muchness to me. I'd look to audition something completely different and you might put an end to the box swapping. Two points of call would be Kevin at Definitive Audio in Nottingham, and Peter at Noteworthy Audio in Aylesbury.
