Est. year: 1982

Musical Fidelity was started in London in 1982 by Antony Michaelson, a professional clarinettist who built its first product, The Preamp, on his kitchen table. Over four decades the company has made amplifiers, DACs, CD players, streamers and phono stages, and it is known for Class A designs and for amplifiers built around Nuvistor miniature tubes. Since 2018 it has belonged to the Austrian group behind Pro-Ject.
Range & what it's known for
The current catalogue is arranged in series by price. The V90 line forms the entry level, followed by the compact MX range and the M2, M3, M5, M6 and M8 series of separates, with the M5xi and M6xi integrated amplifiers as recent launches. The A1 series revives pure Class A designs, the B1 series and the BPC balanced power conditioners extend the range, and the X series returns the classic X-profile casework, including a revived X-Power conditioner. At the top sits the Nu-Vista series, whose name comes from the Nuvistor tubes used in its circuits. Turntables and loudspeakers now complete the offer.
Who owns it and where it's made
Michaelson founded the company after leaving Michaelson & Austin and ran it for 35 years before deciding to retire in 2017. On 14 May 2018 Heinz Lichtenegger of Audio Tuning, the Austrian firm that also owns Pro-Ject and TONE Factory, bought the brand and its intellectual property. Musical Fidelity is now owned and operated by Audio Tuning in Austria while keeping its British design identity, and it runs a separate North American office for support.
The lineup in this catalog
Amplifiers, DACs and phono stages, with several models across these categories. The cost runs from roughly USD 1,000 in the V90 line to more than USD 15,000 at the Nu-Vista end.
Who it's for
A complete set of separates from a single brand, with a clear path upward, is what Musical Fidelity offers. A V90 or M2 component makes an affordable start, the M3 and M5 ranges add power and features, and the M6 and M8 series serve larger systems. Listeners drawn to valve circuits in a solid-state amplifier can head for the Nu-Vista models, while the A1 puts Class A operation in a smaller box.
