My Musical Fidelity amp died..What's next?


Hello and thanks for helping,

My MF integrated passed away, but it was time for an upgrade anyway... I listen to any kind of music through Maggies 1.7/Oppo sacd/ svc sub. Room is 18x12, I am looking at amps under 4k with lots of juice, integrated favored but space is not a problem..

It was A300, dual mono integrated, had it for about 10 years. The right channel is gone, some transistors are fried. The only way of fixing is shipping it to England at a prohibitive cost. There is a MF rep somewhere but he's not returning calls...I am not heart broken, while a decent amp, it was a little bright. Last year I heard the Maggies driven by a Bryston integrated and I was blown away...Thanks everyone for suggestions, I will get Hegel h300 and a Parasound halo integrated, unfortunately I can not listen to many great amps due to my semi-rural location.
Gdhal, the amp has been fixed before by a audio repair shop, now they said certain parts are needed and those are available just from the MF headquarters in England.. They have a ton of used and vintage gear, it seems like they know electronics, I 'll love to spend a little to repair it, those are still worth a good buck on the used market. I did not push Maggies hard, the room is rather small and blood will come out of my ears at max level( 200+ wpc @ 4 ohm) plus I have an other gear for partying loud...
Thanks everybody,

I experienced Maggies driven by Pass Lab 250.5 and I was quite impressed. It kinda blows my budget if a pre is needed...I got yesterday in the mail the Hegel H300-used and so far I like it a lot..maybe it will be a keeper
