Has anyone had a listen / own one of these ?
On paper it sounds rather a good piece of kit, plenty of grunt with a great soundstage and not overly bright...

We have a recently joined member called Peter Haynes who owns the MF M6i so perhaps you could drop him a Private Message for his opinions?

The main issue with any MF product is MF! I shall say no more.

Hi Roy
Not much help I'm afraid as although I have heard the M6 it has only been a dealers shop. It sounded sounded pretty darn decent pushing Focal speakers. However IMHO speakers and amps should not be considered in isolation - and indeed Peter's situation may be an example of this. The short answer is that MF is fine but it may depend on your other kit.

Thanks Andrei - I'm just getting back into hifi again , and I'm now using a Gyrodec / Alphason HR100s-MCS / Ortofon MC3 Turbo or Roksan Kandy CD, with Monitor Audio RS6 speakers. Current amps are an Audio Innovations Series 500 or Roksan Kandy.

Going to Maidstone to have a listen tomorrow - I'm slightly nervous, as previously I was dealing with someone who I knew well and let me have home demos, but he's retired now and it seems that's not so common these days...

I've got an MF M3i and its a wonderful amp and I'm very happy with it. Lots of power and very detailed and refined. Should imagine the M6 is the same just more of..

I'm worried that you seem to be a dedicated Sevenoaks type of customer? There's a lot of other stuff around and these days, I reckon Richer Sounds could get you better knowledge levels of staff and possibly a better sound as well. Just saying like..

I had a listen to this amp and thought it sounded pretty good. It just doesn't look the money.
