There's a lot of good and bad about MF They're changing product lines almost as fast as I change shirts... They're outrageous in many ways But they really really know how to build CD players, DAC's and amplifiers !!! Sorry to see that the glowing feet are not there Those feet are totally use

I think the TP as is works quite well as a pre (or in lieu of a pre). I agree that being limited to the top end volume is a problem, but that can be solved quite easily with a relatively cheap pair of attenuators. -- Shredder -

The power amps are supposed to be identical to the full blown kw amps except with half the power and yes, the feet glow red, orange or blue ... I know MF get some pretty bad press due to some of their more outrageous statements but this is a damn fine product when you consider what you get in the

Hey this sounds like a pretty good deal to me :-)) Probably, the amplifier will be noticeably better after a month or two, I have never heard any of those KW amps, Is the power amplifier stage similar to the ones in the other KW amps? (although smaller) I have always fancied the looks of the KW

My wishlist is based on evolving the Transporter into a "digital two-channel pre-amp." Right now I use it to convert and switch PCM audio from my cable box and two game consoles. Of course I also listen to music through it... Sadly, the Transporter is not quite there as a digital pre-amp. Here's w

My MF KW250s finally arrievd at the weekend after nearly a months wait, but it was well worth it. My SB3 has been transformed, the sound is hugely improved over my previous system and it was no slouch (MF A1000 and an MF A324 DAC). Bass extension is superb - I can now make the windows rattle even
