    Default Musical Fidelity MC6 speakers

    Anyone know anything about Musical Fidelity MC6 loudspeakers...? I know of a pair for sale going for a decent price, worth a punt I wonder ?

    Any experience/thoughts/views appreciated.

    Thanks;
    Peter

    I heard a pair once many years ago. Looked interesting with drivers everywhere lol. quite big and efficient and sounded ok, without being great. Think they were fairly expencive in the day, but are probably worth £150 tops now.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    I had a pair of the earlier MC2 and MC4 speakers with the Elac metal dome tweeters the MC4s with the A100 amp was one of my favourite systems of all time and I sometimes feel the urge to try it again.

    The MC6 is contemporary with the 3 way mark 2 MC4s which I have heard were terrible but I read that the MC6 was not so bad and should be worth a go at the right price.

    I used to use several pairs of them when I worked for MF, for testing amps and as a background music system for the factory. I concur with Grant on them.... Nowt special.

    If it's the pair at Audio Emotion for £95 I would take a punt if I was local.

    Hi Jez, how tricky would it be to turn an early single posts pair into a bi-wirable pair for bi-amping ? The Highs went through and extra cap on the + (see pic) but I don't know what the - did as under the xover in this old pic I've managed to find. Hope you can shed some light !

    I recall writing to MC asking questions about speaker design over thirty years ago in one of the monthly publications. About phase relationships between drivers I believe it was and I think it may have been in HFP. I got a published reply anyway.

    Had a few letters and articles published actually.
