Makes me want one even more. It would be perfect for my office system.  So, now to decide what organ to sell.

Don't ask your wife or girlfriend, you might not like their answer!

Just been told my unit is being sent today, and will be with me tomorrow :):o:D:wink: so looking forward to it, hope it lives up to my expectations.

Will report back.

You will enjoy it. :)
 
Yesterday night I got the chance to push the MHA100 to its limits on a pair of Martin Logan Montis.... I honestly doubted the MHA's ability to drive them, but oh my God, it delivered.

Thank you for that. It didn't turn up today, it was supposed to be sent to me from its original owner, but ended up going back to the supplying shop, so I with all being well, will turn up tomorrow! I have a pair of ART Alnico 8 speakers which are very easy to drive, so I hope for impressive results. Short term it will be connected to our iMac, and see some action with my Grado PS1000 headphones.

Just one more sleep to go, pathetic really:rolleyes:! I remember being told that as you get older the toys just get more expensive, a quote that I will no doubt be told by my wife tomorrow when she claps eyes on it. Almost fox-like, I have pre emptied this, and taken her out for a scampi in a handki meal tonight.

Once she hears it... hopefully. :wink:
 
I am currently running a pair of KEF LS50 off the MHA and it simply impresses me every day. And with my LCD-X with Norne Vanquish I can just sit there for hours... soaking up all the details, enjoying the bass, plucking along with the guitars, getting goosebumps from the voices (Johnny Cash - Hurt .... oh yes!), or just getting lost in the ambient worlds of Eskmo or headbanging to Pretty Hate Machine by Nine Inch Nails. The MHA easily masters all of those and a lot more. At least for me, as we all know YMMV. But I doubt it.
