When Lightning Strikes Twice—The Return of an Icon

The original Musical Fidelity A1 achieved legendary status in the 1980s as the giant killer that embarrassed amplifiers costing ten times more. Designed by Tim de Paravicini and Antony Michaelson, it proved that pure Class A magic didn't require mortgage payments. This modern incarnation retains everything that made the original special—the liquid midrange, the holographic imaging, the addictive musicality—while adding conveniences like remote control and improved reliability through modern components.

Pure Class A—The Sound That Ruins You for Everything Else

Class A operation means this amplifier never switches off its output devices. Every watt flows as pure, undistorted current, creating a sound so natural that switching amplifiers sound broken by comparison. Yes, it runs hot enough to warm your listening room. That's not a bug—it's the price of sonic perfection. Those 28 watts sound more powerful than most 100-watt amplifiers because they're delivered without crossover distortion, switching artifacts, or dynamic compression.

Modern Excellence Meets Classic Soul:

* Sweet Spot Engineering: Optimized for real-world speakers and rooms

* Investment Value: Musical Fidelity amplifiers become classics
