Crank this combo [F16/F25] and it creates enough low-end welly to lay waste the living
room. dismantle the double glazing and leave you whimpering behind the sofa like a
whipped dog. Whether its Wagners Ride oft/we Valkyries on vinyl or Underworlds Born
Slippy on C D. kettle drums kick your chest in and basslines rattle your bones.

"Yet the control here is awesome. and the scale and separation stun. From growling or-
chcstral basses to subterranean synth lines. tones and timbres are tremendous. the amps
revealing textures you never knew were there.

...ifyouve a deepish drawer of dosh and like dynamics delivered dcadpan with plenty of
poker faced power. then the Musical Fidelity is Fin marvellous.

What Hi-fi

...while the combination isnt cheap [F16/F25]. it does represent real value for money."
