Is the Musical Fidelity Nu-vista M3 outdated


I've always wanted a Musical Fidelity Nu-vista M3 integrated amp ever since Michael Fremer's review, and I was wondering if these still hold there own or if I would be better off with something newer. They would be driving Scorpio II. Opinions please.

Sometimes newer is not always better. I started with a MF XA-100r, one of the original X-series, and loved it. Then acquired an A3, pretty much the same sound, but conventional size. Next was an A308, a definite step up in sound. Then I tried an A5, and was disappointed. Newer, more power than the A308, but didn't sound as good, so I went back to the A308, and still use it. The A308, like the M3 were built in England, with the A5 and later being built in Taiwan. Currently, only the top models are built in England. Absolutely, go for it!!
Good sound is good sound then or now. But it will be a gamble as far as the synergy with your speakers and other gear. No synergy = sub par sound. Synergy = beautiful sound.
If its in good condition and selling for the right price, no reason to look elsewhere that I can see.
its still an awesome amp. if you can, returun it to mufi for their fine tuning program, it is worth the money and then some. i did this with both my M3 and my kw500 and was very pleased.
I have owned the Nu-Vista 300 poweramp. I also modified it later. I sold them and I gave MF presentations at shows. MF is a good brand. But.......compared to a brand like Pass Labs it lacks some essential parts which need to be there for the absolute sound. For the price you pay you cannot go wrong. Lot's of power and a very musical sound. In depth it is not the best.
