Musical Fidelity A1 experiences


I have the original MF A1 and I never had the chance to get the right speakers for it. My past speakers that i used are Epos ELS3, Magnepan 1.6, MB Quart Domain 30's, Dynaudio Audience 52, Merrill Zigmahornet "fullrange" and never got the sound right. All of the speaker mentioned the sound it created, the bass is quite thin and the highs sometimes fatiguing. Does anyone have experiences on the best speakers to use? or is it the amps fault?

I remember visiting a local NYC dealer years ago while helping a friend shop for speakers. I still remember being amazed at the sound that the A1 produced driving a pair of original Proactive Tablettes. It was beautiful, with electrostatic- like clarity and VERY sweet highs. Now, the Proacs could not produce much bass, but it was not the fault of the amp, and fatiguing in the highs it is not. PSB calling?
"Proactive Tablettes" !?! I cracked myself up. Should be "Proac", of course. My IPad's spellchecker strikes again. An interesting paralell to audio, IMO: sometimes what we think is an advance, is not an advance at all.
