Musical Fidelity kW Hybrid line preamplifier & kW750 power amplifier Associated Equipment

Not every audiophile needs an amplifier powerful enough to tax a small town's power grid while simultaneously draining his or her bank account. So, having quickly sold out of its ultra-limited-edition, extravagantly powered and priced combo of kWp preamplifier ($14,995) and kW power amp ($27,995) that I <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/tubepoweramps/104mf">reviewed in January 2004</A>, Musical Fidelity (footnote 1) set about capitalizing on the enthusiastic reviews earned by those giants with less expensive, less powerful, "real-world" replacements.

What components are you seriously considering purchasing in the near future?

I'm just curious as to what components seem to be getting serious attention from audiophiles these days.

I'm in the upgrade mode and am considering a few components for my office system.

Totem Arro speakers
Dynaudio 52se speakers
Primaluna integrated
Jolida integrated, modified hybrid or mod 202 or 302
Unico SE integrated hybrid
Creek 5250SE integrated
Krell 400i integrated

Quad 99 CDP-2 vs. Musical Fidelity X-Ray v3

I tend to agree, Wes, that sacrificing a small amount of detail in favor of tonality is a good trade. That's approximately what I (and, I think, a bunch of others) did when I added the MF X10v3 between the X-Ray and the preamp. Give it a try. You might like it too. I hear Stereophile considers it a Class A component, and at today's prices, you can buy the X-Ray and the X-10 for what the Quad 99 CDP-2 costs. Of course, you don't get that variable output feature.
