SOLD! Musical Fidelity M3 Nu-Vista Integrated Amp
Posted: Sun Dec 08, 2013 9:00 pm
Up for sale is my beloved integrated amp. It will drive anything included hybrids and other difficult load speakers. It produces amazing dynamics and a very natural, deep wide and tall sound stage.
I am the second owner so I don't know the exact age of this amp but it has been cared for very well and always been in a pet and smoke free home. It was Fine Tuned by Musical Fidelity on 4.10.2011 and the certificate will be included with the amp.
