I've never heard the Blue Circle gear, but I've heard the MF 3.2 Integrated.
I traded in my Krell KRC-3 Pre-amp and KSA-50S Amp on the MF A308cr Pre-amp and Amp right after Christmas. While I was waiting for the shipment, my dealer loaned me the A3.2 Integrated. I had it for six days. It sounded so bad to me that I would literally get sick to my stomach to the point that I thought I was going to puke every time I tried listening to it.
I went into a panic, thinking that I had made one of the greatest mistakes of my life trading in my Krells on the MFs. A buddy of mine who was also an dealer told me to relax, the A308cr separates would put this all behind me.
I don't know what price range you're dealing with, and I don't want to offend you, but my system is in the $20k-$30k range, and I wouldn't have taken the A3.2 Integrated even if had they had offered to give it to me. But this is just my opinion. I take that back, I would have taken it and sold it on Audiogon.
Good Luck in your search, and please give the A3.2 a big, long listen before considering it.
