I have done a few searches on this amp with relation to the Lsi 9 and haven't really found anything. There are plenty of threads that mention the A3cr pre-amp, which is suppose to be pretty nice, but not too much on the power amp. I was just wondering if any polk members have combined any of the Lsi series with this amp and what the results were. I am looking to move a step up from the Adcom amp that I am running now.

Thanks

That will be what you hope it is.

The MF amp will be leaps and bounds better sounding that the Adcom. I had a similar experience. I went from two ADcom 565s to an MF TriVista and couldn't be happier.

I have run many MF amps and love them! Never used a solo amp, but their integrateds (have had A3.2 and A308) are awesome.

I think it will be a great sounding and handsome system! What would be your pre and source for that setup?

The MF amp will sound AWESOME with the LSi9.

Nice to hear! I'm using an Adcom GFP 750 for pre and Project RPM 9.1 w/2M Black cart and Cambridge 640C v2 as sources. I suppose it will provide ample power for the 9's? We live in a smallish apartment, so I'm not going to be cranking it.

I think you are getting some great, quality watts from the MF and will have no problem driving the 9's. I think the A3 is 210 into 4 ohms which should be nice.

I also love the A 308.
