    MF A5 a good upgrade???

    I'm currently using Audio Analogue Primo Settanta (entry level) to drive my floorstand speakers. If I upgrade it to A5, will I hear a significant difference in terms of sound quality. What significant difference will I notice? In what areas?

    Hello Music4Life,

    Best thing to do is, to ask the Club Musical Fidelity gang. They should be able to advise you whether moving up to the MF A5 Integrated amp is worthwile aproach.

      "Significant" opens a big 'ole can 'O worms. You are about 400 posts shy (if they are all descriptive of your equipment and desires) of usable advice on sound quality. What are you looking for? What do you have ? What does it sound like in your listening area? You have asked a question that has no answer-but stick around and ask/contribute from your experience and you'll eventually get answers to questions you didn't know you should ask . My $.02

        Hello Lee,

        Well after upgrading from the Arcam A85+P85 to the MF A5cr Pre&Pwr the music has become a bit more boomy especially with R'n'B music. I did change the interconnects to Nordost Red Dawn and that did tighten up the sound a bit.But I feel it's the slightly fuller sound of the amps that is causing the problem or me using a midrange cd player , in this case the Arcam CD72T or my speakers.

        Your advice would be useful

        Thanks

          703 to 803S --- significant upgrade for HT?
          by EAmin
          Guys, I'm thinking about upgrading my HT to an 803S/HTM3S combo for the front. I really, really wanted to upgrade my set up to the 803D/HTM2D, but I would rather save the money for a high-end 2-channel setup in another room in the house. Hopefully some 802Ds down the road. Plus, I'm keeping my Rotel...

          Weight of receiver a significant factor?
          by GregoriusM
          Hi.

          If my Rotel 1056 doesn't come back fixed (which I hope it does), I have chose the following in my price range to consider (Rotel included for comparison).

          I was quite surprised to see quite a difference in weight.

          How much should I ask?
          by Rock Dog
          I am putting my Yamaha RX-V2095 up for sale. Anyone (especially previous 2095 owners) have any idea what I should ask for it? I've done some pre-sale research, and seem to find pricing all over the map. Anyone sell one recently, and what did you get for it?

          Thanks!

          Not Rotel Related But I have to Ask...
          by Adz
          I'd like one freebie to ask a non-Rotel question since the other relevant sites don't seem to have a lot going on.

          My Home Theatre TV is a 61 inch Sony Rear Projection which is about 5 years old. I got my wife to agree to me moving it to our bedroom and I'd like to get a 16:9 set for...
