    Hello

    I'm thinking of getting a new power amp/pre amp. My speakers are Mirage M3si's. I have been using a Musical Fidelity A3 with my smaller old speakers AE 120's (which was ok) but when moving up in the hifi world, the sound is limited with the Musical Fidelity A3. I have looked at a AM 100 Atoll which I have seen drive the M1's very well.

    The sound from the Musical Fidelity A3 is also not as full and rich as I now like.

    Can any one help with any ideas of what to look at and how much it should cost. ( It would have to be a pre-owned item under £500 for the power amp)

    Also the Musical Fidelity A3 could be up for sale soon. :rolleyes:

    audio analogue puccini first edition is a good un.
    spose the usual suspects will turn up...cyrus and all that.
    try a samson servo 500, plenty of power on the cheap, or an alesis ra500. cheap for about £300 and studio quality.

    Naim. You could get at least a Nac62/Nap140 for that money. They sound fantastic for their money, much better than their new stuff for mine and plenty of other's money
