JMF Audio: Any experience with JMF Amps/Transport?

Thanks for the response....not familiar with that other brand. I'll have to do some reading.

I would really think twice about buying from a little known French company...especially when they have so far been unresponsive. Look at Kora and Audio Aero. A lot of owners stuck without service.

Roxy,...thank you for the comments and advice! There was a one day time period from my initial email on the 5th and they have been communicating with me in detail over the last 24 hours. I read my initial post and I did not clarify when I reached out to the them and how long it had been; apologies for the lack of clarity.

Some strong opinions from people who have absolutely no experience with either the products or the company.

JMF-Audio has been making the Kinoshita amplifiers since the 80's, not the other way around. Look at the Kinoshita amplifiers and DAC and you'll see the JMF logo on them. It is how I became aware of them since I'm obsessed with the sound of the Rey Audio and TAD monitors.

I visited them (From the US) years ago and their complete system is extraordinary. It is a bit of a journey to go and visit them but worth the trip. They are not a 'little French Company' but a self-sufficient manufacturer that has been building gear for several decades, they move carefully and bring out products when technology is mature and tested. The acclaim they got in Munich comes as no surprise.

I bought an amplifier from them (HQS6002D) and have been listening to it daily for 3 years now, it sounds great. I cannot think of any other amplifier I'd rather own, other than a bigger model of theirs. On paper they outperform anything out there.

As for their communication, you must have caught them at a busy time because they've always been very available in my case, via email, phone or in person. I visited them at a time when I made it clear I had absolutely no intention to buy anything from them and still I spend a full day at their auditorium.

Thank you plummox...it definitely must have been a busy period as they did get back around to communicate with me and subsequent communications have all been within the day. Apparently they 3.7 transport is now production ready and selling internationally. They did state they have not found the right dealer or distributor for the US as yet so for now, until I can manage to travel all the way to Europe, there is no way to hear the transport/any of their other gear. Thanks again!
