Is your older receiver or integrated not powerful enough for you? SUPERCHARGE IT!

[Seth=L]

Musical Fidelity has the solution to your low power problem. If you have an older receiver or integrated amp with no preouts that has everything you need aside from loads of power, you can supercharge it! If your receiver or integrated can output at least 50 watts per channel this thing can supercharge it to 550 watts, and should be able to take any load you throw at it with all your new found power. The supercharger is a monoblock amplifier with high and low level inputs for full flexibility, or at least as flexible as monoblocks get.

But I wanted turbo-like boost. Did it mention anywhere how much this thing costs? I know their stuff is fairly pricey.

Some other sites show them at about £1500. Yep, pricey!

Not bad for a 550 watt mono block if you ask me. I think it would be nice looking with SVS cylinder subwoofers.

$3000!? Yikes, though it does look cool

Hmmm...something to think about.

 

[Nomo]

Sooooooooo.. All I need is two of these to boost my front channels.
$6000.
Am I understanding this correctly?

How do you spell esoteric??

Talk about simply putting a band-aid on the real problem. The only thing I can picture this being used for is a tube system where someone wants the tube sound of a tube amplifier (not preamp) and the power of SS.

for the price of those you could just buy a real amplifier and achieve the same thing without the rigged up speaker level inputs.

It is for simplicity sake, besides, it's a mono block, and it's 550 watts.

They cost less than the Krell monoblocks at least.

These are marketable, I am surprised they haven't done something like this sooner (at least directed to a certain audience).

Monoblock amp

I don't think that the SQ of most low end receivers (ones without pre-amp outputs) is appropriate for a high end monoblock like the Music Fidelity. A new pre-pro and amp would probably be a better upgrade path for most people, especially with Emotiva and other seperates in the same price range as one of those monoblocks.

Sheesh, I hate advertising BS. The thing is a monoblock, so why not call it a monoblock instead of a "supercharger"?

Because it's fun.

I has jealous for your system.

 

[ParadigmDawg]

I still have my $50 Sonys hooked up as my mains as my Paradigms are still in the hospital so dont be too jealous.

That's a bit of overkill in several areas.

550 watts is overkill and at $3,000/channel, I'd just as soon invest in a new pre/pro or receiver and separate mega power amps. Why not just do it right in the first place?

 

[Duffinator]

I think I'll get a couple for my $200 Realistic AVR, that should do it.

Ha, LOL Nice, I think I am going to get some for my alarm clock.

Nice but something doesn't add up in the manual's spec page.

Really, would it happen to have something to do with the page not displaying anything? I can't get it to come up.
