Krell 400xi ? Arcam FMJ 32? Musical Fidelity A5?

I have heard the Krell, Arcam, and several MF amps but not the A5. General impressions - the Krell is more dynamic, solid bass and capable of driving about any speakers. Arcam is a more transparent and refined sound but not as strong in the lower registers. Musical Fidelity is a more fluid sound, without any glare or harshness. It is warmer than the Arcam and much warmer than the Krell. A lot depends on the type of music you listen to and the speakers it will be driving. For a low efficiency speaker, I'd probably opt for the Krell. The most musical sounding is probably the MF.

Look at the Sim Moon i-5. In my opinion, it blows away both these integrateds when it comes to sonics, the build quality is far better than the MF, which is partly made in China, has a 10 year warranty and the people there are really nice too.

I don't mean to start an argument but I have found the customer service with Simaudio to be terrible.

I agree with Amywoods, I wanted to have my i-5080 serviced and they did everything they could to try and not service it. Eventually they told me I could open up the cover and check for myself, the standby button spring was pushed in, and I simply sprung it back out. Everything was ok afterall. Dealing with SimAudio was a much harder experience then I had orginally thought it would be.

They do make some great sounding stuff though. I prefer this intergrated to the Bryston B-60 and MF stuff out there.

Agree totally with Audio4ever's criticism of Simaudio service.
All talk and no action was my lasting impression of those people.
